#2Thanks! I remember learning this in introductory circuit design 15 years ago, but forgot about it since. I actually needed it a few weeks ago, when I was trying to simplify a complex boolean expression in my C code :\

#3Learned those in undergrad .. was in Chapter 1 of our textbook .. Computer System Architecture, Morris Mano. Have used it twice with great results in my career.

Quine–McCluskey algorithm might be of help to you.

Morris Mano, ha! Thanks for reminding me of that author, it's been a long time.

#7I remember Karnaugh diagrams fondly; they were pretty much the first thing covered in my circuit design class which really made sense - and gave me the boost I needed to try to wrap my head around the rest of the curriculum, too.
Haven't designed any circuits in my career, but have on occasion used them to simplify my horribly inelegant boolean expressions before committing them to Siemens' S7 SCL.

#8One of the things in the minority in college syllabus that gives you joy and also the realization that you are learning what you like learning.

This and Albert Paul Malvino are two of my personal favorites!

#10I've used these together with Quinn McCluskey and Petrick's method for finding the minimal set cover of some of the problems I was facing.
