Boolean Algebra is a branch of mathematics that deals with variables that have two possible values: true or false, often represented as 1 and 0. It is named after the mathematician George Boole, who introduced this system in the mid-19th century. Boolean Algebra is fundamental in computer science, digital electronics, and logic design, as it provides a framework for analyzing and simplifying logical expressions. In Boolean Algebra, operations such as AND, OR, and NOT are used to combine or manipulate these binary values. The rules governing these operations allow for the creation of complex logical statements and circuits. This algebraic structure is essential for designing computer circuits, search algorithms, and various applications in artificial intelligence.
