Required Textbooks

This semester we are piloting two interactive, online, electronic textbooks, called zybooks. The first is called "Digital Design and Computer Organization and Design". This zybook combines an ebook on Digital Design (full of interactive exercises, simulators, and animations) with the classic text "Computer Organization and Design: The Hardware/Software Interface" by Patterson and Hennessy (which has traditionally been used in CS 3410).
