NOTES

These notes outline the course. Individual lecturers will, as always, revise, interpret and explain the topics in their own way.

The notes change about 10% per year. For a reference for Prof. Ray's lectures, either one is probably all right. For those following Prof. Knight's lectures, it is suggested you do not print files too far ahead of the lectures.

The notes are in pdf files. The last character in the file name is the revision number(letter). The middle digit tells the sequence number of an n part set of notes. Thus the actual file name (not the description below) Dig2DeMorganC.pdf is the 2nd section of the notes on digital circuits containing gates but no storage(Dig). The section is mainly concerned with DeMorgan's Theorem and is the  Cth or 3rd revision.

    This is for synchronous state machines. Prof. Ray usually de-emphasizes this in favour of asynchronous state assignment.
