I came across this just now so it seems that at least I am not the only person coming to these "naive" conclusions. Lots of reasons to wonder this, like why the order of precedence is so similar as well.

In Boolean Algebra there is only 1 or 0. In numerical terms these are also 1 and 0. Nothing else exists. Addition and multiplication work nicely with it.
Thanks Hippy for your kind input, however reading this suggests there is no subtraction (and therefore no division)... apparently ... so NOT is something else to get my head around. It's obvious what NOT does thanks, I can explain it using Venn diagrams and set theory but what I can't do is link it to simple maths like I can with and and or.
I don't think Wikipedia is quite what I'm looking for, think I'll find myself a mathematician and buy them a drink or three
