It defines operators for elimination, division, and expansion, providing a coherent and systematic basis for subsequent discussions of syllogistic reasoning, the solution of Boolean equations, and functional deduction.\u003cbr\u003eExamples and end-of-chapter problems appear throughout the book, many taken from the design for switching systems. Two concluding chapters deal with applications; one applies Boolean reasoning to diagnostic problems, and the other discusses the design of multiple-output logic-circuits.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\n\n\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003c\/table\u003e\n","brand":"Dover Publications","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":46431140774019,"sku":"SPTM-9780486427850","price":16.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0564\/6830\/8099\/files\/9780486427850_spiral.png?v=1769660078","url":"https:\/\/sebink.com\/products\/boolean-reasoning-the-logic-of-boolean-equations","provider":"Sebink","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
