Hello, my name is Shadi Khansa. I am an Electrical engineering student and this is my Blog!! Chances are you may be wondering what on earth my blogs title is referring to, or chances are you know and despise what I'm referring to, but were googling for homework solutions to one of your computer engineering classes and found this by accident. Either way, I'll explain. Boolean algebra(or logic) is a logical calculus of truth values developed by English philosopher and mathematician George Boole in the 1840s. It is the algebra of two values, usually taken to be 0 and 1, but F and T, false and True, x and y, or any domain of two values could be used. Since practically every modern computer operates by using the Binary numeral system, which represents all data using two symbols (0 and 1), Boolean algebra is the basis of modern digital computer logic and George Boole is regarded as a founder in the field of computer science.
The reason this is all so interesting to me, is that I am taking a Computer Engineering class in which I will be using George Boole's brain child extensively, so I will be documenting and explaining what I learn in this blog, in the hopes that somebody will find it useful. To kick things off, I have included a diagram of various representations of Boolean operations, to be demystified in my next post. And the journey begins....
