Fundamentals of Computers | Author By V. Rajaraman and Neharika Adabala | Sixth Edition | PHI Publication ( English Medium ).

The sixth edition of the highly acclaimed “Fundamentals of Computers” lucidly presents how a computer system functions. Both hardware and software aspects of computers are covered. The book begins with how numeric and character data are represented in a computer, how various input and output units function, how different types of memory units are organized, and how data is processed by the processor. The interconnection and communication between the I/O units, the memory, and the processor is explained clearly and concisely. Software concepts such as programming languages, operating systems, and communication protocols are discussed. With growing use of wireless to access computer networks, cellular wireless communication systems, WiFi (Wireless high fidelity), and WiMAX have become important. Thus it has now become part of “fundamental knowledge” of computers and has been included. Besides this, use of computers in multimedia processing has become commonplace and hence is discussed. With the increase in speed of networks and consequently the Internet, new computing environments such as peer to peer, grid, and cloud computing have emerged and will change the future of computing. Hence a new chapter on this topic has been included in this edition.

This book is an ideal text for undergraduate and postgraduate students of Computer Applications (BCA and MCA), undergraduate students of engineering and computer science who study fundamentals of computers as a core course, and students of management who should all know the basics of computer hardware and software. It is ideally suited for working professionals who want to update their knowledge of fundamentals of computers.

Key features:

Fully updated retaining the style and all contents of the fifth edition.

In-depth discussion of both wired and wireless computer networks.

Extensive discussion of analog and digital communications.

Advanced topics such as multiprogramming, virtual memory, DMA, RISC, DSP, RFID, Smart Cards, WiGig, GSM, CDMA, novel I/O devices, and multimedia compression (MP3, MPEG) are described from first principles.

A new chapter on Emerging Computing Environments, namely, peer to peer, grid, and cloud computing, has been added for the first time in an entry level book. Each chapter begins with learning goals and ends with a summary to aid self-study. Includes an updated glossary of over 340 technical terms used in the book.

This book is recommended in Sikkim University for BBA-MBA Integrated, Gauhati University, Assam for Vocational Course, B.Sc. Computer Science, Assam University for M.Tech (IT), Cotton College State University, Guwahati, Assam for BCA, Northern Eastern Hill University, Meghalaya for BBA, Burdwan University, West Bengal for B.Sc (Computer Science), West Bengal University of Health Sciences, West Bengal for Masters in Hospital Management, Calcutta University, Polytechnics, Utkal University, Odisha for BCA, Biju Patnayak University of Technology, Odisha for MBA, Centurion University, Odisha for B.Tech (CSE), KIIT, Odisha for BCA, T.M.
