Abstract

Computers play a key role in our everyday lives. We use computers to e-mail, to chat, for Internet browsing, teleconferencing, video conferencing, etc. We also use them for e-learning, e-commerce, e-banking, e-governance, e-ticketing and for many more things. It is interesting to note that while we interact with other media like television, radio, newspaper, etc. to merely get information, the interaction in computers is two ways. We can be creators as well as users. We may use a computer as a medium to get more information, as a tool to perform certain activities, or as an integral part of another component. The study of computers has become essential in our professional lives. The contents of this book have been structured to follow the syllabus of the course Basic Computer Engineering offered to the students of Rajiv Gandhi Proudyogiki Vishwavidyalaya in their fi rst year. A roadmap to the syllabus has been included for the benefi t of students. This book has also been enhanced by the addition of three solved question papers. An indispensable text for teaching and learning, Basic Computer Engineering is a rich collection of chapters on the basics of computer engineering. Theoretical concepts are supplemented by umerous programs that enable a better understanding of the concepts. Suggestions to improve this edition are welcome.
