[@leonarM]

At 17:16 (3rd example), we could factorise instead of making of distributive law. That would be as follows: Z = (A ^ B ^ -C) v (A ^ -C) Z = (A ^ -C) ^ ( B v 1) Z = (A ^ -C) ^ 1 Z = A ^ -C

[@somethingbeatyful]

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.

[@henryash38]

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...

[@ComputerScienceLessons]

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

Wonderful video! Thank you for taking the time to share your knowledge of how to simplify complex expressions. I am a novice. Your video really helped me “up my game”. I created two truth tables for the simplification of the two equivalent circuits at 10:25 but the tables were not the same. Perhaps I made a mistake.

[@ComputerScienceLessons]

There's plenty of scope to make mistakes. The two expressions are: (A or C) and B; A and B or B and C and (B or C). If you enter each (in this format) into the Woolfram Alpha Boolean Algebra Calculator, you will get the same truth table. www.wolframalpha.com/widgets/view.jsp?id=a52797be9f91295a27b14cb751198ae3 This is how I check my results. :)KD

[@11435ewp]

Appreciated the Wolfram link. I entered A AND B OR B AND C AND (B OR C) to get the truth table. Wolfram added parentheses as follows: (A AND B) OR (B AND C AND (B OR C)) after submit. Next, I entered B AND (A OR C). I still get different truth tables. Did I enter the values incorrectly? Thank you for helping me.

16:59 Solution 3: You’ve got ABC’ + AC’ = AC’ + AC’B Instead of doing all that, couldn’t you just use absorptive law (A + AB = A) If we take AC’ as A corresponding to the A in the absorptive law, we get the final answer, which is AC’. Is there something I’m doing wrong? This seems like a much simpler method.

[@ComputerScienceLessons]

There are probably dozens of ways you could arrive at a solution. In fact, I usually take the long way around to illustrate some of the possible 'moves'. I'm reasonably confident that I have the simplest solution for each of the problems I posed because I checked them all on the Woolfram Alpha Boolean algebra calculator. www.wolframalpha.com/widgets/view.jsp?id=a52797be9f91295a27b14cb751198ae3

But I cant seam to dive in like I could with a programming language because I dont quite yet see how to do something like a complex if else then statement. And to make nested statements...WOW...

[@Outwardpd]

The problem at 16:51 I managed to get the same answer by using the distributive law in reverse instead of expanding further it went like this: (a'b)+(bc')+(bc) (a'b)+b(c'+c) - Using distributive law (a'b)+b(1) - completment law (a'b)+b - identity law B - absorbative law Is this an accurate way to get this answer or did I just get lucky?

[@Phanatomicool]

Can someone explain (12:18) to me? The way I tried to simplify it was "A or A and B" = "A and B". However, he gets just A, even though when you input A = 1 and B = 0, you get "1 or 1 and 0" = "1 and 0" = "0", but 0 != A, and so his method was incorrect or I'm incorrect.

[@ComputerScienceLessons]

Try drawing out the logic gate circuit and making a truth table. Be careful to take account of the order of precedence of the logical operators. A+(AB) You will see that the output is always the same as A, regardless of B. This should help too www.wolframalpha.com/input?i=A+OR+A+AND+B :)KD

This gave me clues about when to expand. When you've done a few examples, you start to get a feel for how simple an expression can become for a given number of variables.
