Logic in computer science compelling analysis of what can be called a mechanical procedure and Kurt Gödel asserted that he found Turing's analysis "perfect." In addition some other major areas of theoretical overlap between logic and computer science are: One of the first applications to use the term Artificial Intelligence was the Logic Theorist system developed by Allen Newell, J.C. Shaw, and Herbert Simon in 1956. One of the things that a logician does is to take a set of statements in logic and deduce the conclusions (additional statements) that must be true by the laws of logic. For example, If given a logical
Combinational logic a product of sums. Consider the following truth table: Using sum of products, all logical statements which yield true results are summed, giving the result: Using Boolean algebra, the result simplifies to the following equivalent of the truth table: Minimization (simplification) of combinational logic formulas is done using the following rules based on the laws of Boolean algebra: With the use of minimization (sometimes called logic optimization), a simplified logical function or circuit may be arrived upon, and the logic combinational circuit becomes smaller, and easier to analyse, use, or build. Combinational logic In digital circuit theory, combinational logic (sometimes
