AVR-Chat

They are tools for simplifying combinational logic.  You started out with a 
set of equations describing what you wanted to build.  And the tools helped 
you to turn the simultaneous equations into a solution.  I think matrix 
tools were part of that but we are going WAY WAY back into the day...
