No longer offered. It’s in Waterloo’s scanned calendars from 1975–76 to 1975–76 (before that, 1968–69 to 1970–71 used the number for Switching Circuits. Switching devices. Binary codes and arithmetic. Boolean); the 1995–96 to 2023–24 calendars are on ucalendar.
This course is intended to prepare the student to choose a suitable computer for a given application. Review of combinatorial and sequential logic circuits. Discussion of modules or “building blocks” — central processing units, stores, input/output systems, and bus structures. Case studies of machines. 3 hour lectures, one term Offered in the Fall, Winter and Spring terms Prerequisite: Math 371la
As printed in the 1975–76 calendar, read by OCR; the scanned page is the original.
