theory appears as applications or illustrations throughout, and numerous problems form an integral part of the text. No prior knowledge of Boolean algebra is necessary. The text begins with a consideration of some concepts of intuitive logic. Subsequent chapters introduce Boolean functions, basic ordered sets, and a succession of algebraic systems. An examination of the principle of duality leads to a final chapter on applications, including electrical networks and computer design. Suitable for courses in computer design, circuit analysis, and switching circuits, this volume can also serve as a reference for professionals.
