Today, Boolean logic is foundational to computer programs and computer hardware, but it is also important in our everyday thinking. This guide includes an overview of logic gates and a review of differences between computer logic and human logic. The author’s clever use of a famous movie line– Lions and tigers and bears! –truly helps make a potentially difficult topic easy to grasp for readers of all ages.
