Introduction to Digital Electronics

Course outline

Digital Electronics is a subset of both Physics and Computer Science, though it is also similar to Computer Engineering. Digital Electronics refers to the handling of logic circuits and other binary-based systems. In this course I will be teaching you the basics of Digital Electronics.

You can find all of the lectures here
