§ An algebra that deals with binary number system
§ George Boole (1815-1864), an English mathematician, developed
it for:
§ Simplifying representation
§ Manipulation of propositional logic
§ In 1938, Claude E. Shannon proposed using Boolean algebra in
design of relay switching circuits
§ Provides economical and straightforward approach
§ Used extensively in designing electronic circuits used in computers
Boolean AlgebraBoolean Algebra

§ Use of Binary Digit
§ Boolean equations can have either of two possible
values, 0 and 1
§ Logical Addition
§ Symbol ‘+’, also known as ‘OR’ operator, used for
logical addition. Follows law of binary addition
§ Logical Multiplication
§ Symbol ‘.’, also known as ‘AND’ operator, used for
logical multiplication. Follows law of binary
multiplication
§ Complementation
§ Symbol ‘-’, also known as ‘NOT’ operator, used for
complementation. Follows law of binary compliment
Fundamental Concepts of Boolean AlgebraFundamental Concepts of Boolean Algebra
61

§ Each operator has a precedence level
§ Higher the operator’s precedence level, earlier it is evaluated
§ Expression is scanned from left to right
§ First, expressions enclosed within parentheses are evaluated
§ Then, all complement (NOT) operations are performed
§ Then, all ‘⋅’ (AND) operations are performed
§ Finally, all ‘+’ (OR) operations are performed

There is a precise duality between the operators . (AND) and +
(OR), and the digits 0 and 1.
For example, in the table below, the second row is obtained from
the first row and vice versa simply by interchanging ‘+’ with ‘.’
and ‘0’ with ‘1’
Therefore, if a particular theorem is proved, its dual theorem
automatically holds and need not be proved separately

Some Important Theorems of Boolean AlgebraSome Important Theorems of Boolean Algebra
63

The theorems of Boolean algebra may be proved by using
one of the following methods:
1. By using postulates to show that L.H.S. = R.H.S
2. By Perfect Induction or Exhaustive Enumeration method
where all possible combinations of variables involved in
L.H.S. and R.H.S. are checked to yield identical results
3. By the Principle of Duality where the dual of an already
proved theorem is derived from the proof of its
corresponding pair

Theorem:
x + x · y = x
Proof:
L.H.S.
= x + x ⋅ y
= x ⋅ 1 + x ⋅ y by postulate 2(b)
= x ⋅ (1 + y) by postulate 5(a)
= x ⋅ (y + 1) by postulate 3(a)
= x ⋅ 1 by theorem 2(a)
= x by postulate 2(b)

are obtained from the binary numbers by counting

expression to obtain equal and simpler expression(s)
(having fewer literals and/or terms)

§ The complement of a Boolean function is obtained by
interchanging:
§ Operators OR and AND
§ Complementing each literal
§ This is based on De Morgan’s theorems, whose
general form is:

A A A ... A = A +A +A +...+A

§ When logic gates are interconnected to form a gating /
logic network, it is known as a combinational logic circuit
§ The Boolean algebra expression for a given logic circuit
can be derived by systematically progressing from input
to output on the gates
§ The three logic gates (AND, OR, and NOT) are logically
