Logic Functions And Equations: Fundamentals And Applications Using The Xboole-Monitor

The greatly expanded and updated 3rd edition of this textbook offers the reader a comprehensive introduction to the concepts of logic functions and equations and their applications across computer science and engineering. The authors’ approach emphasizes a thorough understanding of the fundamental principles as well as numerical and computer-based solution methods. The book provides insight into applications across binary arithmetic, coding, complexity, logic design, digital circuits programming, computer architecture, and artificial intelligence. Updated throughout, some major additions for the 3rd edition include: an expanded introductory section on logic equations; a new chapter on sets, lattices, and classes of logic functions; a new chapter about SAT-problems; a new chapter about methods to solve extremely complex problems; and an expanded section with new decomposition methods utilizing the Boolean Differential Calculus extended to lattices of logic functions. The XBOOLE-monitor XBM 2 software is used to solve the exercises; in this way the time-consuming and error-prone manipulation on the bit level is moved to an ordinary PC, more realistic tasks can be solved, and the challenges of thinking about algorithms leads to a higher level of education.
