  1. Boolean Algebra

  2. Topics • Binary Number System • AND, OR, NOT, Exclusive OR, and Implications operations • Truth Tables and Algebraic Laws • Boolean Logic and Circuits • Application in Internet Searching • Boolean Logic and Fallacies

  3. Binary OFF 0 ON 1

  4. Counting Binary

  5. AND Usually denoted with ^ Example: 1 ^ 1 = 1 1 ^ 0 = 0

  6. OR Usually denoted with ∨ Example: 1 ∨ 1 = 1 0 ∨ 0 = 0

  7. Example 1 • For x = 1 and y = 0 • (x ^ y ) ∨ (x ^ y) • (1 ^ 0) ∨ (1 ^ 0) • 0 ∨ 0 • 0

  8. NOT Usually denoted with ~ Example: ~1 = 0 ~0 = 1

  9. EXCLUSIVE OR Usually denoted with ⊕ Example: 1 ⊕ 1 = 0 0 ⊕ 1 = 1 c

  10. Example 2 • For x = 1, y = 1, z = 0 • ~(x ^ z) ⊕ ( y ∨ ~z) • ~(1 ^ 0) ⊕ ( 1 ∨ ~0) • ~0 ⊕ ( 1 ∨ 1) • 1 ⊕ 1 • 0

  11. Implication Usually denoted with => Example: 1 => 1 = 1 0 => 1 = 1

  12. Truth Tables • Table that lists ALL possible values for a particular equation. • Ex: (x ^ y ) ∨ (x ∨ y)

  13. Algebraic Laws • Associativity => x ∨ (y ∨ z) = (x ∨ y) ∨ z • Commutativity => x ∧ y = y ∧ x • Distribution => x ∧ ( y ∨ z ) = (x ∧ y) ∨ (x ∧ z) • De Morgan => (~x) ^ (y) = ~(x ∨ y)

  14. Application 1: Circuits

  15. Transistors and Gates • Gates – A single entity that usually take in two inputs and produces an output. • Transistors – Works the same way as logical gates, but is an actual device. Building blocks a computer. • Number of Transistors in a modern CPU: 10 Million

  16. Gates

  17. Example: Alarm

  18. Example: Half Adder • Adds 2 bits • 0 + 0 = 0 • 0 + 1 = 1 • 1 + 0 = 1 • 1 + 1 = 0 + 1 (carry_ • 0 + 0 + 1 = 1 • … • …

  19. Application 2: Searching

  20. Searching Primitives • “pizza restaurants” “Mexican restaurants” • Both pizza restaurants and Mexican restaurants must appear as your result. • “respiration” OR “photosynthesis” • At least one of these results must appear as your result. This can mean only respiration, both, or only photosynthesis.

  21. Searching Primitives • “William Shakespeare” -hamlet • Search for anything William Shakespeare related that does not include hamlet. Analogues to the NOT operator. • “Natural Disasters” +earthquakes • Search for anything that involves natural disasters, but the term earth quakes must be included.

  22. Example: Searching Techniques • Suppose I am interested in scholarships, but I don’t want to search for any women or grade based scholarships. • Scholarships AND NOT minority OR need based • scholarships –minority OR –grades

  23. Example 2: Searching Techniques • Let’s search for graduate school that are NOT in Alabama, but are in Georgia OR Florida • graduate schools -"Alabama" +"Florida" OR +"Georgia"

  24. Application 3: Analyzing Fallacies

  25. Fallacy I • A caused B therefore B caused A • Ex: Bill sets out several plates with bread on them. After a couple days, he notices that the bread has mold growing all over it. Bill concludes that the mold was produced by the bread going bad. • A => B must be equal to B => A. Let’s test that out!

  26. Fallacy II • Is this a fallacy? • A cause B therefore B did not cause A • A=>B must be equal to ~(B=>A)
