“Computer Basics” is a computerbased course which is taught in university for the freshmen. The purpose is to introduce computers’ basic knowledge, operating methods and applications in various fields. This enables students to acquire basic knowledge and skills of computer applications as well as to assist their own specialized courses with the help of the computer knowledge that they have learned. 
   This course includes lecture part and practice part. The textbook for lecture part has been published seven years ago, now the second version was issued in 2019. However, the experimental instruction manual for the practice part was not written until this book. The character of this book is explained in the following:

This textbook is one of the research achievements of Innovation Method Project “Application and Practice of Scientific Thinking, Scientific Method in Universities Teaching Renovation—Research and Practice of KM Teaching Method” (Project No. 2009IM010400201). And this textbook is funded by University of Science and Technology Beijing. Thanks for the work of colleagues and graduated students.
