Algebraic Immunity: A metric indicating a Boolean function’s resistance to algebraic attacks, reflecting the minimum degree of an annihilator function that can simplify its structure.

Man of thought: Irish mathematician, logician and philosopher, George Boole pioneered modern computing (Image: Getty) And now, Boolean logic is ingrained in almost every computer language.

And now, Boolean logic is ingrained in almost every computer language. When you use a modern search engine, Boolean logic is used to filter the results to show you only the words you included in ...

Using Boolean algebra as switching algebra, complex circuits are expressed so that they can be evaluated mathematically.

Boolean algebra is the combination of logic and algebra, initially developed by George Boole, for whom the subject is named, in the 1840s and '50s, and later refined by other logicians through the ...

But it's Boolean logic, or Boolean algebra, for which he's known today. The concept goes far beyond the and and or operators most of us have learned to use in the "advanced" options of search engines.
