B73-9 Introduction to Computer Organization and Data Structures

This is a refreshingly clear introductory text on computer organization for undergraduates with very little previous background in computers. The clarity of exposition makes it useful for self-reading. The author admirably succeeds in his stated purpose which is "to introduce the student to the most primitive actions of a computer and then show how the primitive actions can be put together to construct most of the complex actions that computers regularly perform."
