2014年03月05日 Introduction to Boolean Algebra and Switching Circuits (Computer Mathematics Series) "Introduction to Boolean Algebra and Switching Circuits" was originally published by Williamsville Publishing Company as part of their popular "Computer Math Series." It has been adapted and republished here as an eBbook . Material in the "Computer Math Series" was submitted for review in "The Mathematics Teacher" and received praise - "The development is well done."
In “Boolean Algebra and Switching Circuits” the three main operators are related to logic. For example, in logic the Boolean algebra plus sign “+” means "OR" (disjunction in logic) and the times sign “. " means “AND" ( conjunction in logic) and the prime mark or tilde “~" means “NOT" (negation in logic).
Logic symbols will be used mainly in volume 3, “Introduction to Logic” which is part of the “Computer Mathematics Series.” Logic symbols are closely related to operations in “Introduction to Boolean Algebra and Switching Circuits.”
In this book we utilize Boolean algebra symbols which are very similar to their meaning in logic. Boolean algebra, logic and set theory represent the same ideas and principles but they use different symbols to represent similar concepts. However, some books on Boolean algebra use logic and set theory symbols interchangeably.
In all four volumes in the “Computer Mathematics Series” we are using a modified form of programmed instruction (PI). A small amount of information is presented in each frame before advancing to the next frame. Exercises are listed after several frames followed by an answer key for each exercise.
