An undergraduate or graduate text for courses in engineering and computer science departments. Covers basic concepts of computer engineering and science from digital logic circuits to the design of a complete microcomputer system, presenting an understanding of principles and basic tools required to design typical digital systems such as microcomputers. Assembly language programming is covered for typical Intel and Motorola microprocessors, and languages C, C++, and Java are overviewed. Contains chapter questions and problems. This revised edition contains a new chapter on state machine design, and new material on combinational/sequential logic and computer organization. The author is a professor at California State Polytechnic University. Annotation c. Book News, Inc., Portland, OR (booknews.com)

From Chapter 1: The basic blocks of a computer are the central processing unit (CPU), the memory, and the input/output (I/O). The CPU of the computer is basically the same as the brain of a human being. Computer memory is conceptually similar to human memory. A question asked to a human being is analogous to entering a program into the computer using an input device such as the keyboard, and answering the question by the human is similar in concept to outputting the result required by the program to a computer output device such as the printer. The main difference is that human beings can think independently, whereas computers can only answer questions to what they are programmed for.
