After reviewing all the materials posted in Week 4,
you should be able to understand these concepts/answer these questions.
- Who is George Boole?
- What are the members of the set of values used for Boolean algebra?
- What are the 3 operators used in Boolean algebra? And how do they work?
- What is the order of operations (operator precedence) for the Boolean operators?
- List the Huntington Postulates and show the equations to be equivalent using a truth table.
- Use all the Boolean Identities (and their duals) to simplify a Boolean expression.
- Know how to create the dual of a Boolean expression.
- Be able to determine the output of a Boolean expression/function using a truth table.
- Create a logic gate for a Boolean expression/function.
- Create a Canonical Form using minterms (SOP).
- Create a Canonical Form using maxterms (POS)
- And from the textbook:
Digital Design, 6th Ed.
Pages: 76 – 80
Numbers: 2.1, 2.2, 2.3, 2.5, 2.6, 2.9, 2.11, 2.12, 2.13, 2.17, 2.22, 2.27, 2.28, 2.29, 2.30, 2.31
- For fun: Could you build a logic gate to represent: (p nand q) without using the nand gate?
