I feel like you've provided me enough knowledge to test out of my class without even starting. Thanks a ton! Subscribed! Any chance you could provide a printout of the different laws? I can write them in my notes, but I really like your arrangement of them. Makes my boolean algebra quite simple. (Class is still in the phase of covering the different types of logic gates, you've brought me way ahead in only a few hours.)

Your video is really helpful, I have an exam in a few days time and I finally am getting a feeling for how to use the different laws, thanks to your videos. But I, too, find it pretty confusing that at min 14:45 the absorption law is used with the A that is bound by an AND after. I used first the commutative law and then the absorbtion law finishing the simplification similarly: (A^B)vBvA^(BvC) =BvA^(BvC) =Bv(A^C)v(A^B) =Bv(A^B)v(A^C) =BvA^C I am a bit disappointed though that not one of the comments pointing this out was answered. Making mistakes is only human and correcting it would give me a greater sense of security that I have understood the laws and can apply them correctly.

Absorptive law shouldn't be used at 14:45? AND has higher precedence than OR So on line 3: A AND (B OR C) Should be bracketed to give: (A AND (B OR C)) So now the whole expression reads: (A AND B) OR (A AND (B OR C)) OR B - When you used the absorptive law to get line 4, you prioritised OR over AND where you simplified: (A AND B) OR A to just: A More brackets would have made this mistake clearer. Sorry if I am incorrect, you probably still got the right answer, I am just trying to make sense of this myself...
@ComputerScienceLessons2 жыл бұрын
You may well be correct (or maybe not, I will take another look). My approach is to use the Woolfram Alpha Boolean algebra calculator to get the simplest form, so I know the solution I'm aiming for, then I work towards this. In an exam room, you wouldn't have this luxury. As I mentioned in a video, you can solve one of these problems in lots of different ways. There is a possibility I took a wrong turn but then got lucky and still found the correct solution. It's good that you are scrutinising my suggestions - that's exactly what I want my own students to do. I tell them that this is 'chewing gum for the mind' :)KD

I've used all of these symbols in discrete math and logic classes in the US......nothing new here. Think it might be an institution specific thing ;)

14:45 is that right?. OR operator doesn't have higher priority then and operator ?
@arielfridman97434 жыл бұрын
Think of OR as addition (+) and AND as multiplication (*). both sets of operators have the same priority.

@@arielfridman9743 Incorrect, as multiplication has higher priority than addition, AND has higher priority than OR.

at 9:10 is it possible to do it like this: Z = (a ∧ b) ∨ (b ∧ c ∧ (b ∨ c)) - apply absorption law c ∧ (b ∨ c) = c Z = (a ∧ b) ∨ (b ∧ c) - apply distributive law (a ∧ b) ∨ (b ∧ c) = b ∧ (a ∨ c) Z = b ∧ (a ∨ c)

In my textbook and online it says: Identity laws: x + 0 = x | x • 1 = x and Domination laws: x • 0 = 0 | x + 1 = 1 but at 18:00 it is backwards for Identity and Annulment???????

I think the video says the same thing but with different symbols.
