Beskrivning

How do you make a decision with numbers? You have to use a kind of math called Boolean algebra—it’s a little strange because it only ever uses two numbers: 1 or 0, and 1+1 always equals 1. Despite this weirdness, this algebra is used to create the nanoscale circuits in every microchip.
