3 BOOLEAN ALGEBRA AND THE LOOK-UP TABLE
Boolean algebra is a field of mathematics and logic essential to understanding how to work with devices like FPGAs. In Boolean algebra, the input and output values are all true or false, which we can equate with 1s and 0s, or high and low voltages. Instead of operations like multiplication and division, Boolean algebra has operations such as AND, OR, and NOT. Each of these operations takes in some number of 0s and 1s as input, evaluates them, and produces a 0 or 1 as an output. Algebra class would have been much simpler if it had been about Boolean algebra!
