First very application that calculates the K-map!!


The Karnaugh map (KM or K-map) is a method of simplifying Boolean algebra expressions. Maurice Karnaugh introduced it in 1953] as a refinement of Edward Veitch's 1952 Veitch chart which actually was a rediscovery of Allan Marquand's 1881 logical diagram aka Marquand diagram[4] but with a focus now set on its utility for switching circuits. Veitch charts are therefore also known as Marquand–Veitch diagrams, and Karnaugh maps as Karnaugh–Veitch maps (KV maps).
