Boolean algebra, developed by George Boole in the 19th century, provides the mathematical foundation for digital computing and logical reasoning.

The fundamental operations in Boolean algebra are:

• AND (conjunction)
• OR (disjunction)
• NOT (negation)

These simple operations, combined with the values True and False, form a complete system for logical reasoning. This system is not just theoretically interesting - it’s the basis for all digital computer operations, from simple calculations to complex decision-making algorithms.
