Purpose
The problem with having a complicated circuit (i.e. one with many elements, such as logical gates) is that each element takes up physical space in its implementation and costs time and money to produce in itself. Circuit minimization may be one form of logic optimization used to reduce the area of complex logic in integrated circuits.
