Donald D. Givone’s approach is highly regarded because it does not require a prior background in electronics. It focuses strictly on the mathematical and logical structures of digital systems. The "18" in popular search strings often points to the top 18 core topics or the 18 specific laboratory experiments typically mapped out in advanced digital design curricula.
