+
+SAT is a mathematical problem whereby the question is asked whether a
+logical formula is satisfiable, meaning there is a combination of inputs
+that will satisfy the sentence. This logical formula is often expressed
+in conjunctive normal form (CNF).
+
+SAT solvers are programs that can solve these problems automatically.
+Even though it is an intractable problem and is in O(2^n^) for the
+number of variables present in the sentence, there are efficient
+algorithms that will work well most of the time.
