Boolean logic A branch of algebra in which all operations are either true or false, i.e., yes or no, and all relationships between the operations can be expressed with logical operators such as AND, OR, or NOT. Invented by English mathematician George Boole (1815–1864), Boolean logic was obscure until the rise of digital computing, which is based on two values: 1 and 0, which essentially translate into yes or no, on and off, and so on. |
