By the end of this course, students will:
A5.1 describe binary and hexadecimal numbers, and convert positive integers among decimal, binary, and hexadecimal number systems;
A5.2 compare binary and hexadecimal repre- sentation of addresses and data (e.g., absolute addressing, character codes, colours);
A5.3 relate Boolean algebra to the fundamental logic gates and to combinations of these gates, using symbolic, algebraic, and numeric representations.
