De Morgan's Principle is essential in Boolean algebra, particularly in Karnaugh mapping (K-map) for simplifying expressions. It facilitates the transformation of grouped 1's in a K-map into a product of sums format. By double-complementing the resulting Boolean expression and applying De Morgan's Law, one can derive a NAND implementation of the function. This method streamlines the process of solving complex logical expressions.
