The Little Book of Algorithms 2.0


Free Download The Little Book of Algorithms 2.0: A workbook to develop fluency in Python programming
English | 2020 | ISBN: 1916116302 | 128 Pages | PDF | 3.3 MB
This workbook is designed to help those learning and teaching Computer Science at secondary school level. The aim of the book is to help students build fluency in their Python programming. The book would suit students who have already been introduced to the three basic programming constructs of structured programming, namely sequence, selection and iteration. The learning curve for programming can be quite steep and this book aims to ease this transition by encouraging practise and gradually introducing more complex concepts such as lists and 2D lists and file writing. Originally, the book was written for 14-16 year old students studying for their GCSE Computer Science programming exam. However, a wide range of students and teachers will find this book useful.The Little Book of Algorithms concisely presents eighteen problems which computer science students will commonly encounter. These problems are solved efficiently using programs written using Python. However, reading these programs is not enough, so this new version of the book now comes with 48 challenges so that you can apply what you have learnt in various ways:Writing your own programsSolving Parson’s puzzlesCompleting quizzes Tracing Gap fillsThis range of exercises will help you to become more fluent in Python and ensure that you are comfortable with any question format in a programming exam. Solutions are provided in the back and a series of video tutorials is also provided so that you can code along with the author, hearing his thought processes as he programs.After finishing this book, you should feel more familiar with:While loops and For loopsConcatenating different data typesUsing procedures and functionsWorking with 1D and 2D lists and arraysFile reading and writing This book will show you how to write better Python programs and will expose you to the key skills that are required to do well in any secondary school programming assignment or exam.

Logic Minimization Algorithms for VLSI Synthesis


Free Download Logic Minimization Algorithms for VLSI Synthesis by Robert K. Brayton , Gary D. Hachtel , Curtis T. McMullen , Alberto L. Sangiovanni-Vincentelli
English | PDF | 1984 | 204 Pages | ISBN : 0898381649 | 11 MB
The roots of the project which culminates with the writing of this book can be traced to the work on logic synthesis started in 1979 at the IBM Watson Research Center and at University of California, Berkeley. During the preliminary phases of these projects, the impor tance of logic minimization for the synthesis of area and performance effective circuits clearly emerged. In 1980, Richard Newton stirred our interest by pointing out new heuristic algorithms for two-level logic minimization and the potential for improving upon existing approaches. In the summer of 1981, the authors organized and participated in a seminar on logic manipulation at IBM Research. One of the goals of the seminar was to study the literature on logic minimization and to look at heuristic algorithms from a fundamental and comparative point of view. The fruits of this investigation were surprisingly abundant: it was apparent from an initial implementation of recursive logic minimiza tion (ESPRESSO-I) that, if we merged our new results into a two-level minimization program, an important step forward in automatic logic synthesis could result. ESPRESSO-II was born and an APL implemen tation was created in the summer of 1982. The results of preliminary tests on a fairly large set of industrial examples were good enough to justify the publication of our algorithms. It is hoped that the strength and speed of our minimizer warrant its Italian name, which denotes both express delivery and a specially-brewed black coffee.
