Introduction to Logic and Computer Design (IE-Paperback)

Description

Introduction to Logic and Computer Design by Alan Marcovitz takes the successful formula realized in the author's previous books and makes it even better. With the inclusion of several chapters on computer design, Marcovitz now offers everything a fundamentals-oriented logic design course might include. Further, this new book is supported by an ARIS site and a host of new media supplements to make both the instructor's and the student's job easier. As with Marcovitz's previous books, the clear presentation of concepts and well-paced writing style make Introduction to Logic and Computer Design the ideal companion to any first course in digital logic. Users rave about the book's extensive set of examples'well integrated into the body of the text and included at the end of each chapter in sections of solved problems' that give students multiple opportunities to understand the topics being presented. 

Answers to selected exercises are included in an easy-to-reference appendix for the second edition.

A clear and well-paced writing style makes this text especially well-suited for students who might otherwise find this course area particularly challenging.

Text is suitable for a broad range of digital design courses.

Great teaching aids for the instructor and student--PP, online quizzes, notes, and access to algorithmic problems

Students will see these examples integrated in the text and at the end of the chapter, which will help comprehension of the topics discussed.

Retention is critical in this text and the Test Yourself sections is a great item to point out

Do you cover computer design in your course?

Would you find it helpfull if the text package included parallel examples so the instructor can do a different example in class from the one offered in the book, algorithmic problems to give students unlimited practice?

Are you happy with number and quality of examples in your current text?

How do your students currently test themselves, to see if they understand the material in the text? Would a feature that would allow students to test themselves on the content within that chapter be helpful?

Includes coverage of computer design.

Marcovitz is accompanied by an ARIS website: www.mhhe.com/marcovitz. The site features a test bank for instructors (over a semester?s worth of tests keyed to material in the text) as well as online quizzing for students. It also includes solutions, PowerPoint slides of most figures and key material, instructor notes, parallel examples so the instructor can do a different example in class from the one offered in the book, algorithmic problems to give students unlimited practice, links, and more.

An extensive set of examples, well integrated into the body of the text as well as at the end of each chapter in sections of solved problems, gives students multiple opportunities to understand the topics being presented.

"Test Yourself" sections, designed to help students measure their comprehension of key material, are included at the end of chapters.
