Information, number systems, data storing and manipulation, machine instructions, algorithms, programming, artificial intelligence!
Important! The course is still in development and I upload new videos from time to time as well as update the existing ones.
From this course, you will learn how a computer works. What applications it has, in what way it realizes them, and how is it built. I will present the computer as an abstract machine and as a physical machine. You will learn how computers store and convert data. You will learn different number systems and conversions between them (binary, decimal, octal, hexadecimal). You will understand why computers use zeros and ones to represent everything. I will explain what is the phenomenon of the growing power of computers, how it affects minimization and miniaturization. You will learn the backstage of software development, you will see what a programmers work looks like. What are the features of a good programmer. Finally, I will discuss artificial intelligence, which is a very mysterious field for many people. I will also discuss the physical and logical limitations of computers, you will learn what computers are good at and what is hard for them, and why.
