About this person
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).
