Previous: Return to notes Boolean Algebra A Boolean algebra is a set with two binary operations, and , that are commutative, associative and each distributes over the other, plus a unary operation . Also required are identity elements and U for the binary operations that satisfy and for all elements A in the set. One interpretation of Boolean algebra is the collection of subsets of a fixed set X . We take and U to be set union, set intersection, complementation, the empty set and the set X respectively. Equality here means the usual equality of sets. Another interpretation is the calculus of propositions in symbolic logic. Here we take and U to be disjunction, conjunction, negation, a fixed contradiction and a fixed tautology respectively. In this setting equality means logical equivalence. It is not surprising then that we find analogous properties and rules appearing in these two areas. For example, the axiom of the distributive properties says that for sets we have while is a familiar equivalence in logic. From the axioms above one can prove DeMorgan's Laws (in some axiom sets this is included as an axiom). The following table contains just a few rules that hold in a Boolean algebra, written in both set and logic notation. Rows 3 and 4 are DeMorgan's Laws. Note that the two versions of these rules are identical in structure, differing only in the choice of symbols.

24. George Boole (1815 - 1864) Brief biography and description of boolean algebra. http://www.home.gil.com.au/~bredshaw/boole.htm

George Boole (1815 - 1864) T he original `working class boy made good', Boole was born in the wrong time, in the wrong place, and definitely in the wrong class - he didn't have a hope of growing up to be a mathematical genius, but he did it anyway. Born in the English industrial town of Lincoln, Boole was lucky enough to have a father who passed along his own love of math. Young George took to learning like a politician to a pay-rise and, by the age of eight, had outgrown his father's self-taught limits. A family friend stepped in to teach the boy basic Latin, and was exhausted within a few years. Boole was translating Latin poetry by the age of twelve. By the time he hit puberty, the adolescent George was fluent in German, Italian and French as well. At 16 he became an assistant teacher, at 20 he opened his own school. Over the next few years, depending mainly on mathematical journals borrowed from the local Mechanic's Institute, Boole struggled with Isaac Newton's Principia and the works of 18th and 19th century French mathematicians Pierre-Simon Laplace and Joseph-Louis Lagrange. He had soon mastered the most intricate mathematical principles of his day. It was time to move on.

Boolean Algebra Introduction You may have been intimidated by the mathematical word problems on the SAT or ACT. On first reading they seem almost impossible to solve. "Larry and Fred share a bookcase. Larry has twice as many books as Fred. There are 75 books on the bookcase. How many books does Fred have?" Then you realize how the problem can be redefined as an algebra problem. As an algebra problem the solution is much easier. 2*F + F = 75 F = 25 Fred has 25 books. For many of the same reasons digital systems are based on an algebranot the regular algebra you and I are familiar with but rather Boolean algebra. Boolean algebra is the theoretical foundation for digital systems. Boolean algebra formalizes the rules of logic. On the surface computers are great number crunchers, but inside computations are performed by binary digital circuits following the rules of logic. We use Boolean algebra in this class to simplify Boolean expressions which represent circuits. In this lecture we will study algebraic techniques for simplifying expressions. In the next lecture we will look at mechanical waysalgorithms you can use with pencil and paper to simplify moderately complex Boolean functions and algorithms that machines can follow to simplify arbitrarily complex Boolean functions. Axioms In 1854 George Boole Introduced the following formalism that eventually became Boolean Algebra.

People ASCII-HTML Binary Boolean ... Home What's So Logical About Boolean Algebra? George Boole believed in what he called the ‘process of analysis’, that is, the process by which combinations of interpretable symbols are obtained. It is the use of these symbols according to well-determined methods of combination that he believed presented ‘true calculus’. Today, all our computers employ Boole's logic system - using microchips that contain thousands of tiny electronic switches arranged into logical ‘gates’ that produce predictable and reliable conclusions. The basic logic gates comprise of AND OR and NOT . It is these gates, used in differing combinations, that allow the computer to execute its operations using binary language Each gate assesses various information (consisting of high or low voltages) in accordance with predetermined rules, and produces a single high or low voltage logical conclusion. The voltage itself represents the binary yes-no, true-false, one-zero concept. AND gates will only yield a TRUE result (that is, a binary 1) if all input is TRUE. Therefore, the top two gates will produce a FALSE (binary 0) result. OR gates are less fussy. An

This constantly requires that complex logical expressions be reduced to simpler expressions that nevertheless produce the same results under all possible conditions. The simpler expression can then be implemented with a smaller, simpler circuit, which in turn saves the price of the unnecessary gates, reduces the number of gates needed, and reduces the power and the amount of space required by those gates. One tool to reduce logical expressions is the mathematics of logical expressions, introduced by George Boole in 1854 and known today as

Next: Logic Gates Up: Digital Circuits Previous: Number Representation Boolean Algebra The binary and 1 states are naturally related to the true and false logic variables. We will find the following Boolean algebra useful. Consider two logic variables A and B and the result of some Boolean logic operation Q . We can define Q is true if and only if A is true AND B is true. Q is true if A is true OR B is true. Q is true if A is false. A useful way of displaying the results of a Boolean operation is with a truth table. We will make extensive use of truth tables later. If no ``-'' is available on your text processor or circuit drawing program an `` N '' can be used, ie. We list a few trivial Boolean rules in table Table 7.2: Properties of Boolean Operations. The Boolean operations obey the usual commutative, distributive and associative rules of normal algebra (table Table 7.3: Boolean commutative, distributive and associative rules.

Boolean Algebra and Logic Circuits Part-I Sep-3-2005 Symbolic Logic Boolean algebra derives its name from the mathematician George Boole. Symbolic Logic uses values, variables and operations : True is represented by the value False is represented by the value Variables are represented by letters and can have one of two values, either or 1. Operations are functions of one or more variables. AND is represented by X.Y OR is represented by X + Y NOT is represented by X' . Throughout this tutorial the X' form will be used and sometime !X will be used. These basic operations can be combined to give expressions. Example : X X.Y W.X.Y + Z Precedence As with any other branch of mathematics, these operators have an order of precedence. NOT operations have the highest precedence, followed by AND operations, followed by OR operations. Brackets can be used as with other forms of algebra. e.g. X.Y + Z and X.(Y + Z) are not the same function. Function Definitions The logic operations given previously are defined as follows : Define f(X,Y) to be some function of the variables X and Y.

37. Robbins Algebras Are Boolean It is clear that every boolean algebra is a Robbins algebra, so the interesting problem was whether every Robbins algebra is Boolean. http://www.mcs.anl.gov/~mccune/papers/robbins/

Robbins Algebras Are Boolean William McCune Automated Deduction Group Mathematics and Computer Science Division Argonne National Laboratory Posted on the Web October 15, 1996. Last updated September 24, 2003. These Web pages contain some information on the solution of the Robbins problem. A paper on this topic appears in the Journal of Automated Reasoning [W. McCune, "Solution of the Robbins Problem", JAR 19(3), 263276 (1997)]. Here is a preprint . The JAR paper has simpler proofs than the ones below on this page. Here are the input files and proofs corresponding to the JAR paper A draft of a press release , intended for a wider audience, is also available. Introduction The Robbins problem-are all Robbins algebras Boolean?-has been solved: Every Robbins algebra is Boolean. This theorem was proved automatically by EQP , a theorem proving program developed at Argonne National Laboratory. Historical Background In 1933, E. V. Huntington presented [1,2] the following basis for Boolean algebra: x + y = y + x. [commutativity] (x + y) + z = x + (y + z). [associativity] n(n(x) + y) + n(n(x) + n(y)) = x. [Huntington equation] Shortly thereafter, Herbert Robbins conjectured that the Huntington equation can be replaced with a simpler one [5]:

39. George Boole Invents Boolean Algebra Around the time that Charles Babbage was inventing the first mechanical computer, a British mathematician called George Boole, was busily inventing a new http://www.maxmon.com/1847ad.htm

1847 AD to 1854 AD George Boole Invents Boolean Algebra Around the same time that Charles Babbage was struggling with his Analytical Engine , one of his contemporaries, a British mathematician called George Boole, was busily inventing a new and rather cunning form of mathematics. Boole made significant contributions in several areas of mathematics, but was immortalized for two works in 1847 and 1854, in which he represented logical expressions in a mathematical form now known as Boolean Algebra . Boole's work was all the more impressive because, with the exception of elementary school and a short time in a commercial school, he was almost completely self-educated. a In conjunction with Boole, another British mathematician, Augustus DeMorgan, formalized a set of logical operations now known as DeMorgan transformations. As the Encyclopedia Britannica says: "A renascence of logical studies came about almost entirely because of Boole and DeMorgan." a In fact the rules we now attribute to DeMorgan were known in a more primitive form by William of Ockham (also known as William of Occam) in the 14th Century. In order to celebrate Ockham's position in history, the OCCAM computer programming language was named in his honor. (In fact, OCCAM is the native programming language for the British- developed INMOS transputer.)
