Mathematics+for+IT+-+Unit+15

Unit 15 We will be exploring ways of working with computers and how to solve problems where it makes sense to use some form of maths.

We will look at games creation, processing speeds, data transfer speeds, overclocking, how memory works, how we use coding, right computer for the right job, etc..


 * ** Mathematics for IT – Unit 15 ** ||  ||   ||
 * P1 || show how natural numbers are represented in computer memory binary.doc:

A natural  number, which can also be called a counting number, is represented by the digits from 0, 1, 2, 3 ... through to infinity. In math law, there must be an infinite number of natural  number digits, since each  natural  number is defined in part by having a number that follows it. These numbers  are also whole  numbers , not fractions or decimals, and can be used for counting or ordering. ||  ||   || Baic Gates and Functions.doc ||   ||   ||
