- A Boolean value is a truth value, either 'true' or 'false', often coded 1 and 0, respectively.
- A Boolean-valued function of one variable is a characteristic function or an indicator function of a subset of its domain, namely "the support" of that function
- For a Boolean-valued function of two variables see binary relation.
- For use in mathematics, see Boolean algebra.
