Abstract
This chapter introduces to the idea of digitally representing analog quantities and goes step by step through the main concepts of the Boolean algebra: variables, functions, truth tables, operations, and properties. The chapter is quite detailed and accompanied by many examples and exercises in order to provide a precise framework of the fundamentals of digital design. It includes the theorems which constitute the foundation for the application of the Boolean algebra to logic networks, with a precise focus on their application for combinational network design.
