Noun [English]

Forms: Boolean algebras [plural]
Etymology: Named after George Boole (1815–1864), an English mathematician, educator, philosopher and logician. Head templates: {{en-noun}} Boolean algebra (plural Boolean algebras)
  1. (algebra) An algebraic structure (Σ,∨,∧,∼,0,1) where ∨ and ∧ are idempotent binary operators, ∼ is a unary involutory operator (called "complement"), and 0 and 1 are nullary operators (i.e., constants), such that (Σ,∨,0) is a commutative monoid, (Σ,∧,1) is a commutative monoid, ∧ and ∨ distribute with respect to each other, and such that combining two complementary elements through one binary operator yields the identity of the other binary operator.
