Boolean algebra (or Boolean logic) is a logical calculus of truth values, developed by George Boole. It resembles the algebra of real numbers as taught in high school, but with the numeric operations of multiplication xy, addition x + y, and negation -x replaced, respectively, by the logical operations of conjunction x?y, disjunction x?y, and …
Boolean algebra Symbols Analogous behavior can be shown between Boolean algebra and mathematical algebra, and as a result, similar symbols and syntax can be used. For example, the following expressions hold true in math. This looks like the AND function allowing an analogy to be drawn between the mathematical multiply and the Boolean AND functions. …
Laws & Rules of Boolean algebra The manipulation of algebraic expressions is based on fundamental laws. Some of these laws extend to the manipulation of Boolean expressions. For example, the commutative law of algebra which states th at the result of an operation is the same regardless of the order of operands holds true for Boolean algebra too. This is shown …
