Boolean Algebra

The Midland Mathematical Experiment, in which a number of schools collaborated with the aim of developing a new approach to teaching mathematics in the Grammar School, developed a series of books to cover their ‘A’-level syllabus. The Boolean Algebra book is split into sections, each section containing explanations, examples and exercises. *[b]The algebra of sets[/b] covers Venn diagrams and set algebra. *[b]Switching circuits[/b] covers truth tables and circuit diagrams. *[b]Statement calculus[/b] covers notation, further use of truth tables and essential identities. *[b]Boolean algebra[/b] looks at the notation of Boolean algebra, axioms, duality and theorems. *[b]Sentence calculus[/b] shows how the notation and applications of Boolean algebra can be written to form mathematical sentences. *[b]NOR logic circuitry[/b] considers how NOR logic gates are used in circuitry. *[b]Boolean algebra applied to digital computers[/b] uses binary in truth tables to develop circuit diagrams. The book concludes with a section containing answers to the exercises.
