Module

3

2 6.0

Goal

This module first introduces Boolean Algebras, focusing on those aspects that are relevant to several steps of the digital systems design process

It then presents the most relevant representation methodologies adopted for Boolean Functions

Basic Boolean Functions and related logic gates are eventually presented.
