Boolean Algebra: Uses

Boolean Algebra is widely used in both mathematics and computer science, and it provides a formal way to reason about truth values:

• In mathematics, it appears in logic, set theory, and proof systems, and it supports reasoning about propositions.
• In computer science, it is used in programming, algorithms, and database queries. It also plays a central role in digital circuit design, where logical operations correspond to physical gates, as we shall see soon in these slides.

Boolean expressions are used in conditional statements such as \( \texttt{if} \) and \( \texttt{while} \).

Thus, Boolean Algebra connects abstract reasoning with practical computation.
