Teaching Reed-Muller Techniques in Introductory Classes on Logic Design

Svetlana N. Yanushkevich and Vladimir P. Shmerko

Abstract: Reed-Muller techniques are not traditionally included in the textbooks for introductory one-semester courses on logic design. Two exclusions are the textbooks by D. Green (1986) and T. Sasao (1999). Based on our experience of developing and instructing logic design courses, we introduce our approach to teaching the Reed-Muller techniques for undergraduate students.

Keywords: Reed-Miller techniques, logic design, sum-of-product, Boolean techniques, minterms, polynomial form.
