SUMMARY

The forum discussion centers on the challenges faced by a student taking the course "Logic Design of Digital Systems" using the textbook "Introduction to Digital Systems" by Ercegovac. The user expresses difficulty in understanding the material, particularly due to the book's complexity and lack of foundational explanations. A recommended alternative resource is a PDF guide from Berkeley, which serves as an introductory supplement to the textbook. This discussion highlights the need for accessible learning materials in digital systems education.

PREREQUISITES
  • Basic understanding of introductory physics
  • Familiarity with calculus concepts
  • Knowledge of combinational systems in digital design
  • Awareness of binary number systems
NEXT STEPS
  • Explore the PDF resource from Berkeley on digital systems
  • Research alternative textbooks on digital logic design
  • Study online courses focused on digital systems fundamentals
  • Join study groups or forums dedicated to digital systems education
USEFUL FOR

This discussion is beneficial for students enrolled in digital systems courses, educators seeking supplementary materials, and anyone looking to enhance their understanding of logic design in digital systems.

Hey guys I'm not sure if this is the appropriate forum (hopefully it is), but this fall I'm taking a course titled Logic Design of Digital Systems and I recently acquired the textbook so I could get a headstart, but the problem is I can't make heads or tails of this text. I checked the amazon reviews and apparently I'm not the only one who feels that this book is overly complicated.

Anyways, what I was wondering is if you guys could help recommend an alternate book to help me self-learn this material because although my textbook assumes that we have NO knowledge of anything except introductory physics and calculus, it dives right into "combinational systems" and a bunch of other topics which seem greek to me. (and binary isn't even explained!)

Sorry, the textbook is called: Introduction to Digital Systems by Ercegovac, and I would really appreciate it if you guys could recommend me another book to read / study from in the mean time because I can't seem to wrap my head around this without assistance

Thanks

Well I googled up that book... $170 from Amazon, bad reviews and all, #$#%#! you must really want to learn that stuff...

I don't know what level you are starting from, or what's actually in the textbook, but my second google result was for this:
http://inst.eecs.berkeley.edu/~ee100/su07/handouts/IntroductionToDigitalSystems.pdf
which seems to be a pretty nice introduction to the Introduction. Hope it helps...
