| Valentine - Karnaugh |
 Title text: Love and circuit analysis, hand in hand at last. |
Explanation
- A Karnaugh map is a Boolean algebra tool which is used to simplify expressions.
- The final picture, the one that looks like a crossword puzzle, is similar to the way that a Karnaugh map is used on a Boolean truth table, to identify areas that can be simplified.
- This picture shows how the process is used to simplify logic circuits.
- The lament of the valentine is that feelings don't yield themselves to the same kind of analysis.
