Although most students are taught set theory at a very early age, no texts covering Boolean algebra utilize this knowledge to enhance students’ abilities to grasp the concepts of the reduction of Boolean algebraic expressions at the college or university level. This paper explains the one-to-one relationship between Boolean algebra and set theory, and how the students’ prior acquired knowledge of set theory can be leveraged in the classroom as an instructional tool to better teach the reduction of Boolean algebraic expressions.
