I have the following term, that should get minimized with Boolean algebra (no Karnaugh map!):



(a ∧ ¬b ∧ c) ∨ (a ∧ c ∧ d) ∨ (b ∧ d)



I already figured out, that the minimzed term is as follows (everything without the middle term) and it makes totally sense to me:



(a ∧ ¬b ∧ c) ∨ (b ∧ d)



However when I try to get same result with boolean algebra I am not able to reproduce it.



My first step is the following:



(a ∧ c) ∧ (¬b ∨ d) ∨ (b ∧ d)



When I apply distributivity-law I end up with the first (non-minimized) term.



Edit: Besides the question above, more general: Can every term that is minimizable by a Karnaugh map be minimized with boolean algebra?
