Episode 35 - Quantum Computers and Brahmagupta
Just recently the National Science Foundation awarded UC Berkeley $25 million to create a multi-university institute to create quantum computers. This will take math to a whole new level, much like Brahmagupta did in 628 CE! If you want to see more details about Brahmagupta's math, as well as other posts about the history of math and science, visit me at www.MathScienceHistory.com.

The Algebra of Happiness
Oxford Mathematics 1st Year Student Lecture - Linear Algebra II
Teacher as Fire Starter
Charlene sparks fire: smart, insightful, fearless, and driven. She is also my friend of twenty years. A math teacher at Pascack Hills High School in Montvale, NJ for over 24 years, she was awarded Teacher of the Year in 2016. Her goal for her students: give them a safe-place to fly. For herself, never stop learning and helping children. You want her in the foxhole with you.
Lars Hupel on Algebraic Design
Episode 5.03 - The Product-of-Sums Expression
Now that we've studied the sum-of-products form of Boolean expressions, it's time to take a look at the product-of-sums. This form uses logical OR's to generate zeros which are passed to the output through an AND gate.
Episode 5.02 - NAND Logic
The NAND gate outputs a logic zero only when all its inputs equal logic one. Let's explore how this universal gate can be used to implement any Boolean expression.
Episode 5.01 - The Sum-of-Product Expression
Who knew how easy it would be to derive a Boolean expression from a truth table? By following a few simple steps, sum-of-products expressions are quickly converted to and from truth tables. In addition, the SOP expression is a heck of a performer.
Episode 4.10 - More Boolean Simplifications
Because many students have trouble when trying to simplify Boolean expressions, we're going to dedicate another episode to examples of simplification. We're also going to show how sometimes, there's more than one way to crack an egg.
Episode 4.09 - Simplification of Boolean Expressions
In this episode, we take a break from proving identities of Boolean algebra and start applying them. Why? Well, so we can build our Boolean logic circuits with fewer gates. That means they'll be cheaper, smaller, and faster. That's why.
Episode 4.08 - DeMorgan's Theorem
In this episode, we add one more tool to our Boolean algebra toolbox: DeMorgan's Theorem. We then use it, along with some of our other tools, to modify an expression down to its simplest form.
Episode 4.07 - Identities of Boolean Algebra
We are familiar with algebraic laws such as multiply zero by anything, and we get zero. In this episode, we see how a Boolean expression containing a constant, a duplicated signal, or a signal being combined with its inverse will simplify...always.
Episode 4.06 - Properties of Boolean Algebra
In this episode, we bring together our knowledge of logic operations, truth tables, and Boolean expressions to prove some basic properties of Boolean algebra.
Episode 10 - Euclid's Elements

Episode 4.05 - Introduction to Boolean Algebra
Truth tables and circuit diagrams fall short in many ways including their abilities to evaluate and manipulate combinational logic. By using algebraic methods to represent logic expressions, we can apply properties and identities to improve performance.
