## Description

Digital Computer Electronics [Albert Malvino And Jerald Brown] on desertcart.com. *FREE* shipping on qualifying offers. Digital Computer Electronics

Review: Excellent Book On Bits, Bytes, Binary, Gates and Logic Design - Malvino has a way with words and manages to simplify many aspects of low level digital electronics. I'm about half-way through the book and already cherish it for its very thorough explanations, starting from the simplest aspects (bits) and working towards more sophisticated elements of circuit design (truth tables with Karnaugh Maps). Along the way you'll take in many lessons on Boolean algebra and simplification techniques (don't let this scare you away - it's really not bad at all). While the book is definitely old, it's still very relevant, even with all of the improvements to computers over the last few decades. About the only possible complaint I could have at this point in the book is that some of the chapter review questions seem a bit tedious, particularly since we only have half the answers in the back so it's questionable whether those problems are worth doing since you can't confirm whether you correctly understand the material. That aside, there's lots of questions (with answers) along the way within the actual chapter content, so you still have lots of chances to confirm your understanding. Bottom line, the book is a classic, the writing style is very easy to read, the quality of what it conveys is all-encompassing, and you'd be hard-pressed to find anything better on the subject. A must have for your electronics library.
Review: Extremely well spoken - This book does an extremely good job of clearly communicating and explaining technical concepts. I find this extremely valuable in a world where it seems many engineers and people in technical fields have almost no ability to communicate their ideas at all. If you want to learn how computers work, this is the book for you. I also like this quote from the book's preface. " A man of true science uses but few hard words, and those only when none other will answer his purpose; whereas the smatter in science thinks that by mouthing hard words he understands hard things. -Herman Melville"

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Malvino's clear writing makes his guiding of the reader through increasingly complex circuits easy to understand
*by K***H on February 3, 2015*

And almost 40 years later.... still got it. Malvino's clear writing makes his guiding of the reader through increasingly complex circuits easy to understand. No words are gratuitous even though many were repeated! His repetition to reinforce concepts throughout the book is well timed and appreciated. He also teaches the material from a historical perspective which I really appreciate. I tend to believe this is how web programming should be taught - from a humble static website through to dynamic service oriented architectures. It's honestly refreshing to read a text like this. It reminds me of a Physical Chemistry textbook Professor Garetz used at Polytechnic. So few people write about complicated subjects without drowning it in terminology. It's a quality you see in these "bible" type textbooks which are still in usage 10, 20, 30+ years from their first edition run. As he states, "This doesn't mean this book is easy. It means you never get a complex explanation when a simple one will do. It means the discussion of each topic is no harder than it has to be. It means the book is for your ego trip, not mine; a reader is very smart when an author gets out of the way." How bhuddist. A note on the dating: when you hit the last two chapters you'll start to realize the content there is not very relevant for today (specifically the programming chapter) but by then you'll have learned so so much you won't even care.
