Boolean algebra, also called Boolean logic, is at the heart of the electronic circuitry in everything we use - from our computers and cars, to our kitchen gadgets and home appliances. How did a system of mathematics established in the Victorian era become the basis for such incredible technological achievements a century later?

Decent book, but not suitable for audio
Reviewed: 05-30-21
Reading of equations is tiresome and makes the audio interminably long. Other than that, the performance was good.
The technology is somewhat dated, with the exception of the basic timeless principles and the introduction of quantum logic. in particular, a few statements, such as the popularity of J-K flip-flops, really didn't age well.
Something went wrong. Please try again in a few minutes.
