Boolean algebra (structure)

In abstract algebra, a Boolean algebra or Boolean lattice is a complemented distributive lattice. This type of algebraic structure captures essential properties of both set operations and logic operations. A Boolean algebra can be seen as a generalization of a power set algebra or a field of sets, or its elements can be viewed as generalized truth values. It is also a special case of a De Morgan algebra and a Kleene algebra (with involution). Every Boolean algebra to a Boolean ring, and vice versa, with ring multiplication corresponding to conjunction or meet ∧, and ring addition to exclusive disjunction or symmetric difference (not disjunction ∨). However, the theory of Boolean rings has an inherent asymmetry between the two operators, while the axioms and theorems of Boolean algebra express the symmetry of the theory described by the duality principle. (Wikipedia).

Boolean Algebra: Sample Problems

In this video, I work through some sample problems relating to Boolean algebra. Specific, I work through examples of translating equivalences from logical or set notation to Boolean notation, and also a derivation using Boolean equivalences.

Boolean Algebra 1 – The Laws of Boolean Algebra

This computer science video is about the laws of Boolean algebra. It briefly considers why these laws are needed, that is to simplify complex Boolean expressions, and then demonstrates how the laws can be derived by examining simple logic circuits and their truth tables. It also shows ho

The Algebra of Boole is not Boolean Algebra! (I) | Math Foundations 255 | N J Wildberger

We begin to introduce the Algebra of Boole, starting with the bifield of two elements, namely {0,1}, and using that to build the algebra of n-tuples, which is a linear space over the bifield with an additional multiplicative structure. This important abstract development played a key role

The Algebra of Boole is not Boolean algebra! (III) | Math Foundations 257 | N J Wildberger

We continue discussing George Boole's original algebra which can be framed as arithmetic over the bifield B_2={0,1} and vector spaces/algebra over it. We have seen how to reformulate Aristotle's syllogistic construction in terms of Boole's algebra, and use simple algebra to prove his syllo

Replacing truth tables and Boolean equivalences | MathFoundations274 | N J Wildberger

While Propositional Logic is a branch of philosophy, concerned with systematizing reasoning using connectives such as AND, OR, NOT, IMPLIES and EQUIVALENT, the Algebra of Boole provides a mathematical framework for modelling some of this. With this approach we ignore the issue of the mean

Why Algebraic Data Types Are Important

Strong static typing detects a lot of bugs at compile time, so why would anyone prefer to program in JavaScript or Python? The main reason is that type systems can be extremely complex, often with byzantine typing rules (C++ comes to mind). This makes generic programming a truly dark art.

Stable and NIP regularity in groups - G. Conant - Workshop 1 - CEB T1 2018

Gabriel Conant (Notre Dame) / 01.02.2018 We use local stability theory to prove a group version of Szemer´edi regularity for stable subsets of finite groups. Toward generalizing this result to the NIP setting, we consider definable set systems of finite VC-dimension in pseudofinite groups
