Data Structures and Algorithms Using C#

C# programmers: no more translating data structures from C++ or Java to use in your programs! Mike McMillan provides a tutorial on how to use data structures and algorithms plus the first comprehensive reference for C# implementation of data structures and algorithms found in the .NET Framework library, as well as those developed by the programmer.

The approach is very practical, using timing tests rather than Big O notation to analyze the efficiency of an approach. Coverage includes array and Array Lists, linked lists, hash tables, dictionaries, trees, graphs, and sorting and searching algorithms, as well as more advanced algorithms such as probabilistic algorithms and dynamic programming. This is the perfect resource for C# professionals and students alike.

Microprocessor Design – Principles and Practices with VHDL

Being a computer science or electrical engineering student, you have probably assembled a PC. You have gone out to purchase the motherboard, CPU, memory, disk drive, video card, sound card and other necessary parts. You have assembled them together, and have made yourself a state-of-the-art working computer. But have you ever wonder how the circuits inside those IC (integrated circuit) chips are designed? You know how the PC works at the system level by installing the operating system and seeing your machine comes to life. But have you thought about how your PC works at the circuit level? How is the memory designed or how is the CPU circuit designed?

Digital Design Fundamentals by Kenneth J. Breeding

Using a mixed-logic symbology in the design process throughout, this reference covers a complete range of applications in switching theory and digital design. Breeding provides a study of general digital system design as it may be applied in the areas of communications, controls, and computers; and supplies an understanding of mixed logic so readers can more easily interpret their own designs and those of others. Appropriate for Engineers, Computer Scientists, and Physicists.
