CS Degree Day 71

CS Degree in 100 Days

Overview

I have a new appreciation for how deep this rabbit hole goes.

What I did today?

6.1910 Computation Structures:

Lecture 1: Bits, boolean algebra, logic gates
Lecture 2: Combinational logic, truth tables, sum of products
Problem set: Simplify boolean expressions

The synthesis of a logic function from a truth table via sum of products, take every row where the output is 1, AND the inputs accordingly, OR all the results is an algorithm that turns mathematics into circuits. I find this section of the course the most alien, and therefore the most interesting.
