Introduction to Digital Logic & Boolean Algebra A Comprehensive Guide to Binary Operations, Logic Gates, Logical Expression Analysis and Number Representations in Digital Technology

Note: Following helpful review comments on problems with readability of some equation in the book, the typesetting and formatting have been completely reviewed to improve your reading experience and help develop better appreciation. Your valuable feedback is the most welcome. Thanks. MKG. Digital technology has become ubiquitous in our modern society, to the extent that we risk of being left behind and becoming cut-off if we do not adopt it! This KES aims to show why digital technology is becoming so appealing, what digital data are, what operations can be performed on them, and how digital logic theory can be used to systematically formulate solutions to several practical problems. As we become immersed in the 0’s and 1’s of a digital world, knowing the differences between the way our smart digital companions work and how we humans interpret information is of high relevance today, irrespective of the wake of life we find ourselves in with respect to digital technology.Customers are increasingly asked to understand digital terms like bits, bytes, GB, GHz and TB when selecting their next laptop or smartphone, and for anyone aspiring to get into this rapidly evolving environment as a professional, the basics and principles are a must.The underlying digital principles are also found to be a useful asset for learning computer programming, as it enables to understand the machine level operations of the computer, and hence equips one to understand unexpected behaviors of a piece of code and in troubleshooting bugs.
