Textbooks

The following books will help you to prosper in this subject:

Prescribed texts (these are books that it is strongly recommended that you get):: There are no prescribed texts for this subject, as no single book adequately covers the material. You may still some benefit from the recommended books below.

Recommended texts (these are books that will help you in one or more areas):

Part A:

The C Programming Language, by Kernighan B and Ritchie D, Second Edition, 1990.
Data Structures and Program Design in C, by Kruse R, Tondo C and Leung B. Prentice Hall, 1997.
Data Structures using C and C++, by Yedidyah Langsam, Moshe J. Augenstein and Aaron M. Tenenbaum, Second Edition, Prentice Hall, 1990.
Data Structures, Algorithms & Software Principles in C, by Thomas A. Standish, Addison Wesley, 1995.

Part B:

Structured Computer Organization, by Andrew Tanenbaum. Fourth edition, Prentice Hall. This book is a higher-level exploration of various computer architecture concepts. It does not focus on MIPS, but is good at explaining computers in a comparitive fashion.
Computer Organization and design: The hardware/software Interface, by David Paterson and John Hennessy. Second Edition, Morgan Kaufmann. This book has a very bottom-up approach to the concept of computer architecture. It uses MIPS as the example machine throughout.
Introduction to RISC Assembly Language Programming, by John Waldron. First edition, Morgan Kaufmann. This book specifically covers programming on a MIPS machine, as is done later in Part B of this subject. Note that some conventions used in this book (e.g., the stack frame) differ from what is taught in CSE1303.
