Description

The main aim of this book is to describe the basic concepts of the stored-program digital computer and to provide an insight into Boolean algebra, logic circuits, binary arithmetic, computer arcitecture, memory technology, assembly language programming and input/output devices. This upgrded edition contains additional problems and worked examples and ther has been an effort to elucidate certain ambiguities and obscurities that appeared in the original edition. New sections have been added to deal with the most recent technology, such as the use of optical disks in memory technology. A further modification has been the use of the 68000 as the basic model for conveying the basic principles.
