Can a function know its own name?

Hi David,

I’ve been poring over the MMA Boolean functions. As usual in MMA, there is more than you could have imagined available. Here is my Boolean thread that I will be augmenting soon:

Boolean algebra, engineering format

Mathematica doesn't use the usual boolean notation with which circuit designers are familiar. The plan is to enter boolean expression as a c d + b d not a + a not b not c (a not c not d + b not c not d) and produce overbars on the complemented variables. I can't get the overbars to show as code, so I'll use images. A notebook is attached with all the code. [5151boole131.png] The not is implemented as: $PreRead =. $PreRead = (ReplaceAll[#, "not" :> "OverBar@"] &) Boolean minimiz…

The current state of the Boole functions is attached below. As you can see, I’m not a sophisticated user, but I’m learning a lot about MMA. I’ll study your post and try manipulating things. Are you working with Boolean functions? You’re the only responder so far who has mentioned the Boolean functions.
