Boolean differential calculus

Boolean differential calculus is a type of mathematics used to solve certain kinds of problems. It uses the concepts of TRUE and FALSE that make up a 'Boolean' system. A Boolean system is an 'either/or' way of thinking, meaning that something is either TRUE or FALSE, never in between. Boolean differential calculus is used to figure out the answers to complex problems that involve 'either/or' decisions. For example, if you were given a list of household items and asked to figure out which items were needed for a party, you could use Boolean differential calculus to find the answer. You could go through the list and set up a TRUE/FALSE system for each item, then figure out which items you should select for the party.
