I'm having a hard time understanding a few concepts with Karnaugh Maps. I know how to fill out a truth table with the SOP and POS expressions, then fill out a Karnaugh Map based on said expressions. But from there I kind of stumble.
I've drawn up something to show exactly what I have right now:
I'm not too clear on 2 major parts:
1. Taking those groups and turning them into a boolean expression.
2. Simplifying the boolean expression (not using boolean algebra, I was told that was the point of the Karnaugh map is to skip that step essentially).
Help would be greatly appreciated. I don't expect people to be giving me answers to my homework, I just need help understanding this.
