Boolean Algebra & Redstone Logic Gates - LRR #3

In today's episode, I go over the basics of boolean algebra and their corresponding redstone logic gate implementations.

Solutions to the Expressions:
A | B | A v !B
0 | 0 | 1
0 | 1 | 0
1 | 0 | 1
1 | 1 | 1

A | B | !A ^ !B
0 | 0 | 1
0 | 1 | 0
1 | 0 | 0
1 | 1 | 0

A | B | C | !(A v (B v C))
0 | 0 | 0 | 1
0 | 0 | 1 | 0
0 | 1 | 0 | 0
0 | 1 | 1 | 0
1 | 0 | 0 | 0
1 | 0 | 1 | 0
1 | 1 | 0 | 0
1 | 1 | 1 | 0

No joke, I literally realized de Morgan's law (not knowing that's what it was) when you showed the truth tables, wrote some simple code to test it, realized it was correct, and unpaused your video to you telling me what I just did has a name

[bArium]

This guy and Sebastian Lague have beautifully explained Boolean algebra and logic gates. Wonderfully done!!

[EikirohichiReal]

Now i Love mathematics And Redstone Study :'1

[finitetimeonearth]

This is the first time I've heard about boolean algebra! Definitely saves a lot of headaches trying to understand schematics. And the fact that there are online simplifiers is just amazing!

[rillegas_vods]

i love well-explained minecraft tutorials like this. i finally understand why redstone gates work the way they do

[MauritsWilke]

Love your videos! A small tip: when you are showing things (like the truth table for A NOT A), use f3+c to copy your location and angle to your clipboard so that you can teleport back to the exact same spot which I think will result in smoother cuts

Are you planning on participating in SoME 3? I really think you'd do great. Otherwise, I appreciate the quality of the content you do make! I already understand most of the concepts you've already taught, but I have learned new insights and am still captivated.

This is literally a great way to learn real life computer science. Taking an AP course at school took so long, but it was worth it to understand the deep down way that computers work. I already knew programming and higher level things. But I learned so much about how computers work at the lowest level possible :3 ty for this amazing series which is actually teaching people real life things in the fun world of minecraft <3

[potatdev]

Your lessons should be shown in schools!

[harmstrijbosch]

Ill be studying electrical engineering next year so this will come in very handy 🙂

[lime-kytm]

Someone who has struggled with math his entire life just understood this entire video Matt I hope you know that

[AnimilesYT]

I can see this video being used in university for programming. It's extremely well explained!

[williamsun]

Re-learning all of these truth tables just to do something in a game was actually really fun. You could probably be a good teacher for math!

[WinXPsp.]

9:10 Yes, this is true with real wires too, but it's not really used because you can have signals going backwards and breaking things. This is true in redstone as well, I just haven't seen it mentioned as much.

[brettgt]

I think a good sign that you're doing a good job is that before I watched any of these videos, I had no idea what I was doing with redstone or circuitry in general. Managed to figure out the AND gate just by what you explained.

Keep up the good work, man

[morveman_yt]

One thing I learned in school where talking about Bool algebra is that the AND is a multiplication (and that make sense since multiplying by 0 the output is 0), the OR being + and that also make sense if we say that 1+1=1… else that was a great video !!

[James_Kosmo]

Dude very cool series. I found your channel a while ago and every video is so exiting!. Sadly i dont have that much time to see this whole video now but i will be coming back to it, although i know this stuff, it is still good to go back to the basics and see how people explain them and you did a very good job!. See you around.

[michaelcreates]

I was scared of large redstone builds but I’m learning and I’m invested in this series. Keep up the good work :)

If I was a maths teacher I would just watch your videos in class (or watch them in preparation). I have experienced so many teachers and even profs making a complicated mess out of these topics giving me a rough time wrapping my head around, though it's really not that difficult. Your explanations are brilliant.
