• Literal: A variable, complemented or uncomplemented.

• Product term: A literal or literals ANDed together.

• Sum term: A literal or literals ORed together.

• SOP (Sum of Products):

• ORing product terms

• f(A, B, C) = ABC + A'C + B'C

• POS (Product of Sums)

• ANDing sum terms

• f (A, B, C) = (A' + B' + C')(A + C')(B + C')
