The headache of logical operation Boolean algebra inventor is 200 years old.
If you have studied electronic or electrical related courses, you should not be too unfamiliar with Boolean algebra (or logic algebra). Today, Google launched a brand-new graffiti content to commemorate the 200th birthday of george boole, who proposed this algebraic structure.

Boolean algebra has many applications in electronic or electrical related courses. In fact, it is designed for mathematical deductive logic. It incorporates set operations such as intersection, union and complement, as well as the combination of logical operations and (and), or (or), not, etc. Boolean algebra used in electronic engineering or computer science applications is called logic algebra because the truth value derived from it can correspond to binary numbers or levels in logic circuits, or

George boole, 18 15 was born in England. He never received higher education since he was a child, and all his knowledge was taught by himself. Later, because he was dissatisfied with the teaching of mathematical analysis at that time, george boole derived a brand-new idea of finding the variational method of extreme value function when referring to the relevant papers of French mathematician Lagrange, and published "Logic of Mathematical Analysis" in 1848, and put forward the later mathematical deductive logic called Boolean algebra for the first time in 1854. At the same time, he also wrote related courses on differential equations and difference equations in the future, and continued to work in British academic institutions.

From george boole's later thoughts, mathematics should not be limited to numbers and continuous quantities, and any term that can be represented by symbols can be regarded as a mathematical theory. Therefore, the algebraic system constructed by 0 and 1 can be used in the fields of probability theory or statistics respectively, and even become an important basis for circuit and programming in computer systems. Because george boole's symbolic logic operation has brought many contributions, many electronic or computer science fields call logic operation Boolean operation, and the operation result is called Boolean value.
