title: Why are products called minterms and sums called maxterms?
body: <p>Do they have a reason for doing so? I mean, in the sum of minterms, you look for the terms with the output 1; I don't get why they call it "minterms." Why not maxterms because 1 is well bigger than 0?</p>
  
  <p>Is there a reason behind this that I don't know? Or should I just accept it without asking why?</p>
