Gill |last2= Williamson |date= 2005 |title= A Short Course in Discrete Mathematics |publisher= Dover Publications, Inc. |location= Mineola, NY |isbn= 0-486-43946-1 |quote= <br />The authors demonstrate a proof that any Boolean (logic) function can be expressed in either disjunctive or conjunctive normal form (cf pages 5–6); the proof simply proceeds by creating all 2<sup>''N''</sup> rows of ''N'' Boolean variables and demonstrates that each row ("minterm" or "maxterm") has a unique Boolean expression. Any Boolean function of the ''N'' variables can be derived from a composite of the rows whose minterm or maxterm are logical 1s ("trues") }} * {{cite book |first= E.
