More About This Textbook
Overview
Here, the experienced author, Ed Wolf, introduces the current situation and presents a guide to the new possibilities for computing technology.
This textbook is the first to handle those important areas not covered in existing books on nanoelectronics, such as quantum computing and alternative energy technology.
Intended to be self-contained for students with two years of calculus-based college physics, with corresponding fundamental knowledge in mathematics, computing and chemistry.
