Boolean logic and bit masks
Boolean logic can be thought of as a symbolic model that borrows from both mathematics and philosophy to understand, emulate, quantify, and implement specific human thought processes. This scheme was invented by George Boole, an Irish mathematician in the 1800s, in his seminal paper The Laws of Thought. George Boole was the first person to come up with a workable methodology to harness the process of human logic in a mathematical framework.
The best way in which Boolean logic can be expressed in electrical and electronic engineering terms would be the series (more battery power) and parallel (longer battery life and reduced current) circuits.
An AND gate can be constructed as a simple closed series circuit that consists ...
