The purpose of this section is to define a boolean algebra and to determine some of the important properties of it.

A boolean algebra is a set B with two binary operations, join and meet, denoted by + and juxtaposition respectively, and a unary operation, complementation, denoted by ', which satisfy the following axioms:

(1) for all a,b ∑ B (that is, for all a,b elements of B) a + b = b + a and a b = b a, (the commutative laws),

(2) for all a,b,c ∑ B, a + b c =(a + b) (a + b) …
