Using Boolean algebra as switching algebra, complex circuits are expressed so that they can be evaluated mathematically.

Boolean algebra is a division of mathematics that deals with operations on logical values and incorporates binary variables.

Boolean algebra makes it possible to use the same kinds of algebraic techniques we use to solve normal equations involving numbers to establish logical relationships.

Augustus De MorganAnniversary: He was a pioneering British mathematician and logician whose contributions laid the foundation for modern symbolic logic and algebra. His legacy continues to ...

But it's Boolean logic, or Boolean algebra, for which he's known today. The concept goes far beyond the and and or operators most of us have learned to use in the "advanced" options of search engines.

His lasting theory, Boolean logic, is a form of algebra where all the values (or variables) are either "true" or "false".

BL-algebra: A type of algebraic structure used in the study of fuzzy logic, characterised by binary operations and order relations that generalise classical Boolean algebras.

Recruiters routinely look up keywords using "and," or," or "not" to track down job candidates. Three recruiters shared how job seekers can optimize their profiles for this boolean methodology ...

Man of thought: Irish mathematician, logician and philosopher, George Boole pioneered modern computing (Image: Getty) And now, Boolean logic is ingrained in almost every computer language.
