    • Binary System
    • The Transistor
  • Wednesday
    • Quick review
    • George Boole (1779-1848)
    • Logic, logic expression = boolean expression
    • Any complicated logic expression can be expressed with only 3 operators: AND, OR, and NOT
    • Shannon (1916-2001), in 1948 writes a Master's thesis at MIT: Any binary numerical computation can be performed using logic expressions, and logic operators
    • Verify that we can add in binary.
    • Therefore we should be able to add using AND, OR, and NOT.
    • This creates a need for electrical circuits that implement the 3 boolean operators
    • Logic Gates: NOT, AND, OR
    • Truth tables and verification of rules of addition

  • Read Chapter 1 of the textbook. Skip Section 1.3 and up.
