Description
CS 210 is a core (group A) course for computer science majors. It provides background for courses in the systems area such as operating systems, compilers, and networks, not to mention more advanced courses in computer architecture.
General Information
A solid working knowledge of operating systems, such as Unix/Linux and Windows, is also assumed.
CS 131 or MA 293 is helpful for the material on Boolean logic and data representation, but is not essential.

Both books are available from the BU bookstore. You can also check the publisher’s site or sites like Amazon for cheaper options (rental, electronic or kindle versions). A copy of each of the books will also be placed on reserve in the Science & Engineering Library. You can access these copies from the circulation desk for 2-hour in-library loans.
