How Boolean algebra went from an abstract mathematical idea to the basis of the modern computer.

From Gates to Systems Boolean gates make up circuits, and circuits make up electronic systems. This circuit adds two bits together (for details, see Boolean logic).

Garbled circuits effectively translate the function to be computed into a Boolean circuit, which is then “garbled” by encrypting the inputs and the gates through which the inputs pass.

This course will discuss fundamental concepts and tools in discrete mathematics with emphasis on their applications to computer science. Example topics include logic and Boolean circuits; sets, ...

In a Boolean circuit, the logic gates are like traffic conductors, deciding which of these values gets transmitted. [Album: The World's Most Beautiful Equations] ...
