Title :
Classroom Reduction of Boolean Functions
Author :
Fielder, Daniel C.
Abstract :
Two classroom methods which can be used consecutively to demonstrate the minimization of Boolean functions are presented. The first is a simplification of Caldwell´s decimal tabulation for obtaining prime implicants, and the second is a topologically oriented procedure for reducing the set of prime implicants to minimum Boolean functions.
