Basic Concepts:
Boolean Algebra is a mathematical system used to analyze and simplify logical
expressions. It deals with binary variables and logical operations like AND,
OR, and NOT.
Principles:
The principles of Boolean Algebra include laws and theorems that govern
the behavior of logical operations. Understanding these principles is key to
simplifying complex expressions.
Applications:
Boolean Algebra is fundamental in digital electronics, programming,
and computer science. It forms the basis of logic gates and truth tables.

BOOLEAN OPERATIONS:
AND:
• Represented by “ . ”
• Returns true value(1)if both the operands are true (1).
OR:
• Represented by “+”
• Returns true value(1) if at least one of the operands is true
(1).
NOT:
• Represented by “ ‘ ”
• Returns the opposite of the operands value.
3
Truth Table:
• PURPOSE : Display how Boolean expression evaluate to true or
false.
• EXAMPLE : For AND operation:
A B Y=A.B
0 0 0
0 1 0
1 0 0
1 1 1

BOOLEAN ALGEBRA LAWS:
• Commutative Law: A+B=B+A , A.B=B.A
• Associative Law: (A+B)+C=A+(B+C) , (A.B).C=A.(B.C)
• Distributive Law: A.(B+C)=(A.B)+(A.C) , A+(B.C)=(A+B).(A+C)
• AND LAW: A.0=0 , A.1=A , A.A=A , A.A’=0
• OR LAW: A+0=A , A+1=1 , A+A=A , A+A’=1
• INVERSION LAW: A’’=A
• ABSORPTION LAW: A+A.B=A(1+B)=A , A(A+B)=A
• REDUDANT LITERAL LAW: A+A’.B=A(1+B)+A’.B=A+B , A.(A’+B)=A.B

DE MORGAN’S THEOREM:
• STATEMENT 1: The complement of the products of two variables is
equal to the sum of the complements of individual variables.
(A.B)’=A’+B’
• STATEMENT 2: The complement of sum of two variables is equal
to the product of the complement of each variable.
(A+B)’=A’.B’

KARNAUGH MAPS(K-MAPS):
• Purpose: Simplify Boolean algebra expressions and logic circuit
design.
• Structure: Grid representing truth table min-terms.
• Grouping: Combine adjacent 1s in powers of two (1, 2, 4, 8…).
• Benefit: Reduces expression complexity and streamlines logic circuits.
7
CONCLUSION:
• Core Idea: Boolean algebra uses binary variables and operations
(AND, OR, NOT) for logical expressions.
• Key Benefits: Simplifies and optimizes digital circuits and algorithms.
• Applications: Vital in computer science, electronics, and digital system
design.
Summary: Understanding Boolean algebra is essential for efficient
logic
design and problem-solving in technology.
