Digital Computer Fundamentals

Digital Computer Fundamentals is an introductory textbook on how digital computers are built and how they work. It starts with the number systems and binary arithmetic a machine uses, then moves to Boolean algebra and the logic circuits that carry out its operations. From there it builds upward, showing how gates and storage elements combine into the registers, memory and control units of a complete computer. Written for students meeting the subject for the first time, it treats the machine as a system of clear, connected parts rather than a black box.
