Information modeling of the normal forms of logical functions in Maple system

Abstract

The article discusses possible ways to use the Maple computer algebra system to obtain perfect conjunctive and disjunctive normal forms. Computer algebra systems make it possible to expand the possibilities for creating, applying and using mathematical models in the daily activities of engineers, researchers, and also contribute to improving the education of students of various training profiles. In addition, the use of computer technology can help to apply various methods and expand approaches to the representation of the studied objects (Boolean functions) of discrete form, including in education. Computer algebra systems such as Maple, Mathematica, etc. are the most adapted for studying various sections of discrete mathematics and mathematics in general. The possibilities of the Maple program are shown for use at the initial stages of mastering the discrete mathematics section of the university course - Boolean functions, in particular, for work on the construction and study of perfect conjunctive and disjunctive normal forms according to the truth table.
