Foundations of Computer Science & Systems Design: From Digital Logic to Software Architecture — An Integrated Python-Driven Guide

By: Dhurta Organisation

The Complete CS Foundation - From Transistors to Transformers

Foundations of Computer Science & Systems Design is a first-principles, Python-integrated technical textbook that takes B.Tech, BS/MS, BSe, B.E., BCA, and diploma engineering students on a complete journey - from the physics of transistors and Boolean algebra, through computer architecture and operating systems, to machine learning, neural networks, and cloud computing. Eighteen chapters. Six structured parts. One coherent path.

What You Will Learn
Boolean algebra, logic gates, Karnaugh map minimisation
Number systems: binary, octal, hexadecimal, and BCD arithmetic
Combinational circuit design - adders, decoders, multiplexers, ALUs
Sequential circuits - flip-flops, registers, counters, finite state machines
CPU architecture, instruction sets, pipelining, and memory hierarchy
Operating systems: process scheduling, memory management, file systems
Python programming from fundamentals to recursion and OOP
Data structures and algorithms with Big-O complexity analysis
NumPy, Pandas, and Python for data science and analytics
Machine learning: regression, classification, decision trees, SVMs
Neural networks, deep learning, and Transformer architectures
Cloud computing infrastructure, virtualisation, and green IT

Six-Part Structure - 18 Chapters
