Book Details

Foundations of Computer Engineering is a complete introductory textbook for freshman and sophomore students taking a first course in computer engineering. This new text covers everything today’s students will need to go from almost no computer-specific knowledge to understanding the design of computer systems, from their fundamental hardware components and mathematical abstractions to their use in solving real-world problems. Covering all the major themes of 21st century computer engineering, including logic and computers, software, and circuits, instructors will find that this book provides a single coherent reference to guide students through their course.
