Logical Circuit

FUKUDA Hiroaki
Course description
This course explains algebra of logic and logical curcuit which realizes the algebra using electrical curcuit. Especially, we focus on the properties of logical functions and variables. Then we will learn how to analyze and design curcuit using these properties.
Purpose of class
In this course, we will learn how computers work which utilizes algebra of logic and thories of mathematics. In addition we will learn the foundation of computer systems via above-mentioned theories. Finally we will understand the relation between logical curcuit and nimonic which are operations provided by CPU.
Goals and objectives
  1. The basic understanding algebra of logic and logical functions and enable to using them to design logical circuit.
  2. Understanding the basic concept of logical circuits, and can analyze and design logical circuits.
  3. Understanding the relationship between logical circuits and CPU, and enable to explaining them
