\section{Bits standard operations and logic}\index{LectNo1}
A \emph{bit} (binary digit) is a unit of measure for information, introduced
by C. Shannon in 1948.\\
Roughly speaking, it represents It might be seen as the minimal amount of
information needed in order to distinguish among two
events, events occurring with the
same probability.\\ Bits are used in Information Theory and - in general - in
most of Computer Science applications.
\\
They are
represented denoted with the constants
$0 $ $0$ and
$1$ (the $1$, representing the two events with the
same
probability). In Mathematics, the probability. Their set
of bits is
usually often denoted
by with $\{ 0,1\}$, but we need another notation, that is,
\[
\Fb = \{0,1\}
