Reviews

'I highly recommend this book for academic courses on digital design.' Vladimir Botchev, Computing Reviews '... a very useful textbook ... Throughout the book, the mathematical approach, the gradually presented notions and the very rigorous proofs are remarkable.' Zentralblatt MATH The book is a refreshing and carefully written introduction to the design and analysis of digital logic circuits, culminating in the design of a simple microprocessor. The book aims to give a mathematical foundation and presentation of the field at an introductory level, and it succeeds well: the level of presentation and proof is very consistent and complete, essentially self-contained, and proofs are easy to follow, with essentially all details given, which is a huge bonus if the book is used in class. For the interested, perhaps mathematically inclined, non-student researcher, the book is a very enjoyable read. Jesper Larsson Traff, Vienna University of Technology I am very taken by their approach, which emphasizes mathematical rigor and the ritual, as Even and Medina call it, of formal specification, design, correctness proof, and analysis of delay and cost. Teaching students how to design correctly from the start is the only long-term solution to poor system design. I like very much that they end with an instruction-set architecture description of a simplified DLX microprocessor. In my opinion, this is exactly where to end a hardware course, as it is the responsibility of hardware designers to faithfully implement the programmer's reference model used by software engineers. Shiu-Kai Chin, Syracuse University I highly recommend this book for academic courses on digital design. Vladimir Botchev, Computing Reviews
