Boolean algebra

Boolean algebras canonically defined

Boolean algebra is a mathematically rich branch of abstract algebra. Stanford Encyclopaedia of Philosophy defines Boolean algebra as 'the algebra of two-valued logic with only sentential connectives, or equivalently of algebras of sets under union and complementation.' Just as group theory deals with groups, and linear algebra with vector spaces, Boolean algebras are models of the equational theory of the two values 0 and 1 (whose interpretation need not be numerical). Common to Boolean algebras, groups, and vector spaces is the notion of an algebraic structure, a set closed under some operations satisfying certain equations. Just as there are basic examples of groups, such as the group of integers and the symmetric group Sn of permutations of n objects, there are also basic examples of Boolean algebras such as the following. * The algebra of binary digits or bits 0 and 1 under the logical operations including disjunction, conjunction, and negation. Applications include the propositional calculus and the theory of digital circuits. * The algebra of sets under the set operations including union, intersection, and complement. Applications are far-reaching because set theory is the standard foundations of mathematics. Boolean algebra thus permits applying the methods of abstract algebra to mathematical logic and digital logic. Unlike groups of finite order, which exhibit complexity and diversity and whose first-order theory is decidable only in special cases, all finite Boolean algebras share the same theorems and have a decidable first-order theory. Instead, the intricacies of Boolean algebra are divided between the structure of infinite algebras and the algorithmic complexity of their syntactic structure. (Wikipedia).

Boolean Algebra 2 – Simplifying Complex Expressions

This video follows on from the one about the laws of Boolean algebra. It explains some useful interpretations of the laws of Boolean algebra, in particular, variations of the annulment and distributive laws. It goes on to demonstrate how Boolean algebra can be applied to simplify comple

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! (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

A key problem in circuit analysis is to associate to a logical circuit, typically made of logic gates such as AND, OR, NOT, XOR, NAND and NOR, an algebraic expression that captures the effect of that circuit on all possible inputs. Such an effect is called a Boolean function, and it acts o

Dependent type theory imposes a type system on Zemelo-Fraenkel set theory (ZFC). From a mathematics and physics perspective dependent type theory naturally generalizes the Bourbaki notion of structure and provides a universal notion of isomorphism and symmetry. This comes with a universal
