Boolean algebra is a division of mathematics that deals with operations on logical values and incorporates binary variables.

Using Boolean algebra as switching algebra, complex circuits are expressed so that they can be evaluated mathematically.

Boolean algebra makes it possible to use the same kinds of algebraic techniques we use to solve normal equations involving numbers to establish logical relationships.

Algebraic Immunity: A metric indicating a Boolean function’s resistance to algebraic attacks, reflecting the minimum degree of an annihilator function that can simplify its structure.

It is proved that the following conditions are equivalent: (a) there exists a complete, atomless, σ-centered Boolean algebra, which does not contain any regular, atomless, countable subalgebra, (b) ...

Man of thought: Irish mathematician, logician and philosopher, George Boole pioneered modern computing (Image: Getty) And now, Boolean logic is ingrained in almost every computer language.

His lasting theory, Boolean logic, is a form of algebra where all the values (or variables) are either "true" or "false".

But it's Boolean logic, or Boolean algebra, for which he's known today. The concept goes far beyond the and and or operators most of us have learned to use in the "advanced" options of search engines.
