Synopsis

This paperback "Introduction to Boolean Algebra and Switching Circuits" may be used for remote learning in self-paced distance learning activities which take place independent of the instructor. This is a self-teaching guide with practical examples, exercises and answers. Teachers who buy this book may reproduce pages for classroom overhead projectors. Reproduction for commercial resale or for use in an entire school system is prohibited. This book gives excellent explanations suitable for homeschooling and library learning centers. This was originally published by Williamsville Publishing Company as part of their popular programmed instruction computer math series – printed texts with audio cassettes. This is the print edition. The version listed here is republished as a printed text by Hershey Books and available on Amazon along with other books in the "Computer Mathematics Series." These titles contribute to STEM-based instruction. STEM is an acronym that includes education in the fields of science, technology, engineering, mathematics and computer science. These areas of knowledge help students learn to communicate better in mathematics and computer science using sets, numbers, logic and flowcharts and displaying information in various ways. Some parts of this series were submitted for review in "The Mathematics Teacher" and received praise - "The development is well done." This four-volume computer math series is published in the United States by Hershey Books – www.wrparks.com and available from Amazon. For more information about the series, our books are listed at www.wrparks.com. Questions are listed in exercises at the end of each section and the answer key is conveniently located after each exercise. ABOUT THE AUTHOR: William Parks, B.S., M.S., Ed.M., taught secondary level mathematics in private and public high schools in New York for five years. He taught community college mathematics and computer science for 25 years in New York, Tennessee, Maryland and Arizona. He was a computer science degree program developer at four colleges: SUNY Colleges at Buffalo and Fredonia, Elon University and D'Youville College. He was the technical editor for "Personal Computing" and "PC AI" magazines.

A propos du livre

Présentation de l'éditeur

"Introduction to Boolean Algebra and Switching Circuits" together with printed exercises and answer key is available for home study and library learning centers. For more information email: wparkspublishing@aol.com In Boolean algebra: 1 + 1 = 1 and x + x = x. In elementary algebra the results differ: 1 + 1 = 2 and x + x = 2x. This programmed instruction text gives easy to understand explanations of major differences in symbol manipulation between the two algebras. This text contributes to STEM-based instruction. STEM is an acronym that includes education in the fields of science, technology, engineering, mathematics and computer science. These areas of knowledge help students learn to communicate better in mathematics and computer science using sets, numbers, logic and flowcharts and displaying the information in many ways."1 + 1 = 1 An Introduction to Boolean Algebra and Switching Circuits" was originally published by Williamsville Publishing Company as part of their popular "Tape ‘n Text” “Computer Math Series." It has been expanded and republished as “Volume 3” in the series. The publisher is Hershey Books and is available on Amazon along with "Sets, Numbers and Flowcharts," "Computer Number Bases,” and "Introduction to Logic."To receive a free catalog via email in a PDF file attachment with sample chapters from our books listed at www.wrparks.com send your request via email to wparkspublishing@aol.com. This paperback is intended for classroom teachers, students and reference for libraries. The material in the "Computer Math Series" was submitted for review in "The Mathematics Teacher" and received praise - "The development is well done." Because In elementary algebra 1 + 1 equals 2 and in Boolean algebra 1 + 1 equals 1, Boolean algebra is not isomorphic (similar) to elementary algebra. However, Boolean algebra is isomorphic to logic. Knowledge of Boolean algebra and logic are needed in our modern world in order to explain how computers are designed and operate at the most basic levels. The three main operators in Boolean algebra and switching circuits are directly related to logic. For example, in logic the Boolean algebra plus sign “+” means "OR" (disjunction) and the times sign “. " means “AND" ( conjunction ) and the prime mark or tilde “~" means “NOT" (negation in logic). Logic symbols will be used mainly in “Introduction to Logic." In all volumes of the “Computer Mathematics Series” new information is presented in short sections with immediate testing. This form of personalized instruction is often used in online Internet-based courses for distance learning. A small amount of information is presented in each section before advancing to the next section. Exercises are listed after several sections followed by an answer key.
