'''Boolean algebra''' is a division of mathematics which deals with boolean variables, which are variables which can only have two values. Typically these values are 0 and 1, especially within the fields of [[electronics]] or [[computers]], however boolean variables can be other values, such as "true" and "false". Boolean algebra was invented in the nineteenth century by an [[English]] mathematician named George Boole.

'''Boolean [[algebra]]''' is a [[mathematics|mathematical]] system which is particularly important for [[computers]]. It consists of three logical statements AND, OR, and NOT operators. Each of the three operators corresponds to an algebraic operation. AND corresponds to [[multiplication]], OR corresponds to [[division]], NOT does not really have an algebraic equivalent. It has corallary terms such as NAND (NOT AND), NOR (NOT OR), and OT.
