We’re going to focus on three fundamental operations - NOT, AND, and OR. Today, Carrie Anne is going to take a look at how those transistors we talked about last episode can be used to perform complex ...

A subsection of mathematical logic, Boolean logic deals with operations involving the two Boolean values: true and false. Although Boolean logic dates back to the mid-19th century, it became ...

The Boolean logic gates AND, OR and NOT comprise transistors, which are on/off switches wired together. Gates have one or two inputs but only one output, and they are wired in patterns that make up ...

There are two main reasons mathematics has fascinated humanity for two thousand years. First, math gives us the tools we need to understand the universe and build things. Second, the study of ...

Switching algebra is easily visualized using switches since there are only two values: on and off, or true and false. In digital systems we represent these as 1 and 0, respectively. There are only two ...

Mathematician George Boole died 150 years ago. Boolean logic, the system he invented, is still used in modern computer programming, writes Chris Stokel-Walker. Boole walked two miles to the lecture ...
