Course Description Or Digital electronics is a rapidly growing technology. Digital circuits
Synopsis are used in most new consumer products, industrial equipment and
controls, and office, medical, military, and communications
equipment. This expanding use of digital circuits is the result of the
development of inexpensive integrated circuits and the application
of display, memory, and computer technology.
COURSE OBJECTIVES Give the Students the background required for them to solve
physical daily life problems and challenges in computer
communication. Provide the motivation and basic computational
tools for the abstract investigations of vectors
EXPECTED OUTCOME Possess the background knowledge required for solving real life
problems and challenges
