Written in a highly accessible style, this introduction covers the entire range of hardware-related topics. Exhaustive in scope, it covers material usually found only by consulting several volumes, and includes advanced or new topics (such as local area networks) not found in conventional introductory texts. Where appropriate, hardware is related to software considerations, and day-to-day engineering practice is emphasized. Numerous worked examples provide students with hands-on experience. Undergraduate computer science and electronics students will benefit from Clement's informal yet challenging approach.

The fourth edition of this classic textbook continues to encompass the range of topics that comprise a typical introductory university level course in computer hardware. As with the previous edition the author writes with great clarity, and conveys both his expertise and enthusiasm for the subject. This is a great choice for adoption in an introductory hardware course in computer science and related disciplines. ( ITNow, 2006)
This edition explains how a computer is organized and how it works. It describes the basic concepts of the stored-program digital computer and provides an insight into Boolean algebra, logic circuits, binary arithmetic, computer architecture, memory technology, assembly-language programming, and input/output devices.
