Features: Introduction to Computer Systems is an important science in computer studies, used to guide the entire process from computer hardware to software development. It is mainly divided into three major modules: hardware, networking, and applications.
The hardware module introduces the composition of computer hardware, hardware architecture, microcomputer principles, and microcomputer assembly language starting from digital circuits. It then briefly explains how the operating system manipulates hardware and supports high-level software.
The networking module begins with communication, covering computer local area networks, Internet technology, as well as how to integrate systems and develop network software. The application module starts with software management and development tools, introducing information system theory, and uses management information systems, office automation, and enterprise resource planning as examples to illustrate the structure of information systems. This also serves as an opportunity to introduce database technology.
Subsequently, computer security technology is introduced in the context of e-commerce technology. Later, computer graphics, animation, virtual reality, image processing, and digital media technology are covered. Finally, computer-aided technology, artificial intelligence, and compiler principles are discussed, along with an analysis of the computer discipline tree to help students quickly and comprehensively understand the field of computer science. This book can be used as a required textbook for computer science majors, software engineering majors, vocational and technical college computer majors, and continuing education computer majors.
