Questions about the Boolean Algebra poster

What’s on the Boolean Algebra poster?
10 entries in 2 groups. Ten laws, and one of them has no arithmetic counterpart.

Distribution works both ways here: A + BC = (A + B)(A + C). Ordinary arithmetic has no equivalent, which is why it looks wrong.
Who is the Boolean Algebra poster for?
Boolean Algebra belongs to the Electrical Engineering section rather than to a school year, because engineering is not something one grade owns. Anyone learning digital logic can pin it up — a beginner, a student mid-course, or someone revising years later.
When should you use the Boolean Algebra poster?
Try these first: an expression often collapses without any mapping at all. A wall chart earns its place by being glanceable from where the work is happening, so Boolean Algebra belongs on the wall where that engineering work actually happens, within glancing distance, rather than filed away.
What other posters go with Boolean Algebra?
Adders, Counters & Registers and De Morgan's Theorems sit alongside Boolean Algebra in the Electrical Engineering section. Printed together they make a wall rather than a single sheet, which is how a reference set actually gets used.AddersCounters & RegistersDe Morgan's Theorems
Is the Boolean Algebra poster free to download and print?
Yes. Boolean Algebra downloads as a free PDF with no account, no email and no watermark, like everything else in the Electrical Engineering section. Print as many copies as you like for a home, a classroom, a library or a tutoring group; reselling the file is the only thing the licence rules out.Read the licence
What size does the Boolean Algebra poster print at?
Boolean Algebra is a vector PDF laid out for US Letter, and prints on A4 with Fit to page — the same file, no separate download. Because every mark on it is drawn rather than photographed, it stays sharp enlarged to A3, A2 or A1 at a copy shop. Colour carries emphasis only, so a greyscale print of Boolean Algebra loses nothing.Printing guide
