This document discusses Karnaugh maps and their use in simplifying Boolean functions. It begins with an introduction to Karnaugh maps, including how they are constructed for 2, 3, and 4 variable functions. It then discusses how to use Karnaugh maps to find the simplest sum-of-products expression for a Boolean function by grouping adjacent 1's in the map. Examples are provided to demonstrate algebraic simplification and simplification using Karnaugh maps.
