Semestre 2

Welcome to the Machine Structure course!

This is your teacher: Dr. Sarah Madi (s.madi@univ-alger.dz)

Throughout this journey, we'll explore the foundational concepts of computing systems, including numbering systems and the representation of information.

We'll study binary, hexadecimal, and other numbering systems, understanding how computers encode and process data.

From bits and bytes to encoding schemes like ASCII and Unicode, we'll look into the methods computers use to represent text, numbers, and other forms of information.

By mastering these basics, you'll lay a solid groundwork for understanding more advanced topics in computer architecture and programming.

Let's embark on this exploration of machine structure and the essence of digital computation!

The general objectives of this Module are:

• Introduce the concepts related to various numbering systems (chapter 1)

• Learn how to represent various forms of information (chapter 2)

• Explore the fundamentals of Boolean algebra (chapter 3)
