This month we turned to the world of Mathematics and asked for the truth table for A ∨ ¬B. It is:

A∨ ¬B |

The idea for the challenge was taken from an article on Boolean Algebra
found in the AccessScience Database. This database can be found on the
library’s Research & Homework page under “A” and accessed with your library card.
Note the picture is of George Boole who first laid out the principles of
Boolean Algebra around 1850. Boolean Algebra is integral to the way computers
work.
