In this video, the Sum of Product (SOP) and Product of Sum (POS) form of Representation of Boolean Function is explained using examples. And what is minterm and maxterm in the Boolean Expression is also explained.

The following topics are covered in the video:

0:00 Introduction
1:05 Sum of Product (SOP) form
4:01 Product of Sum (POS) form
7:16 What is Minterm
12:21 What is Maxterm
18:27 Canonical SOP to Canonical POS conversion

Boolean Expression Representation:
The Boolean Expression is typically represented in two forms.
1) Sum of Product Form (SOP)
2) Product of Sum Form (POS)

There are two types of SOP and POS forms of representation.
Canonical and Non-Canonical

In this video, the Boolean Expressions in both Canonical and Non-Canonical SOP and POS forms are explained. And the concept of minterms and maxterms is also explained.

What is minterm?
It is the product term that contains all the variables of the function either in true form or complemented form.
The canonical SOP form is Sum of Minterms.

What is Maxterm?
It is the sum term that contains all the variables of the function either in true form or complemented form.
The canonical POS form is Product of Maxterms.

In the later part of the video, how to write the Boolean expression in Canonical SOP or POS form from the truth table is also explained.

This video will be helpful to all the students of science and engineering in understanding the SOP (Sum of Product) and POS (Product of Sum) form of representation of the Boolean Function and the concept of minterms and maxterms.
