Logical design of digital computers

the long version

Using synchronous circuit components almost entirely, this book describes and interprets the methods and techniques of various men in the field, and applies them to a wide variety of problems in logical design of digital computers. the book provides the reader with the information, tools, and procedures needed to carry out the complete logical design of a general or special-purpose computer Of particular value are the detailed discussions of: 1. The Veitch Diagram method of simplification of Boolean equations. 2. The 'difference-equation' approach to memory elements. 3. The Huffman-Moore Model of digital systems. 4. The complete solutions to flip-flop input equations. 5. A mathematical introduction to Boolean algebra. Many simple yet pertinent examples of how to use these techniques enable the reader to apply them readily to other computing configurations.
