About this person

Edward Westbrook Veitch was an American computer scientist. He graduated from Harvard University in 1946 with a degree in Physics, followed by graduate degrees from Harvard in Physics and Applied Physics in 1948 and 1949 respectively. In his 1952 paper "A Chart Method for Simplifying Truth Functions", Veitch described a graphical procedure for the optimization of logic circuits, which is referred to as Veitch chart. A year later, the method was refined in a paper by Maurice Karnaugh into what became known as Karnaugh map (K-map) or Karnaugh-Veitch map (KV-map).
