The Simplification Rules
There are a number of simplification rules that can be used to reduce the
complexity of Boolean expressions. As the end result is to reduce the number of
logic gates required to implement the expression, the process of simplification is
also known as minimizution (Figure 9-10).
y=a l(a&b) y=a&(a I b)
y=a
-e
AND OR AND
y = (a I b) &(a I E)
