Boolean algebra, also called Boolean logic, is at the heart of the electronic circuitry in everything we use - from our computers and cars, to our kitchen gadgets and home appliances. This title examines the history of Boole's ideas, and considers how they led to Shannon's work on electrical relay circuits and information theory.
