COURSE DESCRIPTION

Information in digital computers is represented and processed by logic circuits. Operation in these circuits is on binary variables that assume one of two distinct values, usually 0 and 1.

In this course, students will be concisely introduced to logic circuits used to build computers and how these logic circuits operate on information represented in two valued electrical signals.

 

COURSE OBJECTIVES

By the end of this course, students should be able to understand;

        i.      Mathematical foundation and design tools that address the digital nature of computers

      ii.      Differences between the physical and digital world by the way the computer

   represents and manipulates data.

    iii.      Introduces digital logic and logic gates as tools of designing computers.

    iv.      Applications of fundamentals to standard digital designs such as binary adders and

   counters
