Logic gates

Can logic gates be expressed using mathematical operations


There are 10 kinds of people in the world,people who understand binary and people who don't.

Re: Logic gates

Hi;

Of course. A logic gate is a real world example of a boolean function.


In mathematics, you don't understand things. You just get used to them.
90% of mathematicians do not understand 90% of currently published mathematics.
I am willing to wager that over 75% of the new words that appeared were nothing more than spelling errors that caught on.

Re: Logic gates

Which mathematical operations?


The limit operator is just an excuse for doing something you know you can't.

Re: Logic gates

I was trying to memorize and explain the logic gates earlier and i thought of sets.if  U={1,0} and 1={{ }},0={ } and A AND B=A intersection B,A OR B=A union B,NOT A=A' then the idea seems to work.are these expressions valid?

Re: Logic gates

If you wire the output of a logic gate to an input upstream from a bunch of logic gates, you create a sequential sort of circuit, depending what exactly you do.
I suggest reading about J-K flip-flops and D flip-flops and also thinking about
how these flip-flops are made out of logic gates and pursuing some thought
about making a sequential machine without using J-K or D flip-flops, but
simply by figuring out your own way of creating a sequential circuit.
I do not know how to make a mathematical expression for a sequential circuit.
