AIMS and DESCRIPTION

To research into and build a Boolean Interpreter using Boolean geometry.
The application will read a Boolean expression, convert it to canonical SOP form and then minimise the Boolean expression
and display the result using a geometric minimisation approach.

PRIMARY GOALS

1. To develop a program to recognise a Boolean expression format and then plot the coordinates onto
an appropriate n-dimensional geometric structure.
2. Generate an algorithm that will map the geometries from the coordinates imputed.
3. Generate an algorithm that will remove and redundant geometries and display the minimised form
of the original expression.
4. Research into the different computational approaches for the minimisation of Boolean algebra.

SECONDARY GOALS
1. Generate a GUI that will display the mapping of the geometric shape and resultant Boolean
expression
2. To animate the geometry with the ability to rotate the image.

RESOURCES NEEDED
C, C++ and Java programming knowledge
