Description
Please note that the content of this book primarily consists of articles
available from Wikipedia or other free sources online. Boolean algebra,
as developed in 1854 by George Boole in his book An Investigation of the
Laws of Thought, is a variant of ordinary elementary algebra differing
in its values, operations, and laws. Instead of the usual algebra of
numbers, Boolean algebra is the algebra of truth values 0 and 1, or
equivalently of subsets of a given set. The operations are usually taken
to be conjunction ¿, disjunction ¿, and negation ¬, with constants 0 and
1. And the laws are definable as those equations that hold for all
values of their variables, for example x¿(y¿x) = x. Applications include
mathematical logic, digital logic, computer programming, set theory, and
statistics. Boole's algebra predated the modern developments in abstract
algebra and mathematical logic; it is however seen as connected to the
origins of both fields.
