This new version of Marcovitz has been expanded to include coverage of computer design.
Marcovitz is accompanied by an ARIS website: www.mhhe.com/marcovitz. The site features a test bank for instructors (over a semester’s worth of tests keyed to material in the text) as well as online quizzing for students. It also includes solutions, PowerPoint slides of most figures and key material, instructor notes, parallel examples so the instructor can do a different example in class from the one offered in the book, algorithmic problems to give students unlimited practice, links, and more.
An extensive set of examples, well integrated into the body of the text as well as at the end of each chapter in sections of solved problems, gives students multiple opportunities to understand the topics being presented.
"Test Yourself" sections, designed to help students measure their comprehension of key material, are included at the end of chapters.
Answers to selected exercises are included in an easy-to-reference appendix for the second edition.
A clear and well-paced writing style makes this text especially well-suited for students who might otherwise find this course area particularly challenging.
