This book is dedicated to the fundamentals of digital circuitry including topics such as binary number systems, logic gates, Karnaugh maps, combinational circuits, and sequential circuits. The topics covered are designed to introduce and prepare you for a possible career in Electrical or Computer Engineering. The chapters within each section are designed to build upon one another and should be studied for a complete understanding of the topics. The concepts covered in this text are typically required knowledge for all electrical and computer engineering majors. At UCCS (University of Colorado at Colorado Springs), this course is taught as an early engineering class meant to set a foundation for later studies in electrical or computer engineering.
