Unit 01: Computer Systems

• After completing this lesson, you will be able to:
  • Understand and apply logic gates.
  • Define and create truth tables using Boolean operators.
  • Understand stages of the systems design (e.g. software development life cycle).
  • Understand and explain the scalability and reliability of networking systems via network topology.
  • Understand and explain the need for cybersecurity and different methods of encryption to transmit data.

Unit 1.1: Data Representation

• A digital computer consists of millions of electronic switches.
• A switch has two states: On (electricity flows) and Off (no electricity flows), represented by 0 and 1.
• Binary digit = bit.
• Binary code = combinations of 0s and 1s representing numbers, letters, and special characters (e.g., ASCII).
• Binary code uses alphanumeric codes to represent numbers, letters, and special characters.
• Lowercase letters: a-z
• Uppercase letters: A-Z
• Numeric digits: 0-9
• Special characters: %, $, &, #, +, etc.
• American Standard Code for Information Interchange (ASCII) represents each character and has 128 possible characters.
• Digital computer circuitry works with DC voltage that can only be in two possible states.

Unit 1.2: Analog and Digital Signals

• Analog signals are continuous, smoothly varying over time.
• Examples include audio signals, video signals, human speech, and analog temperature readings.
• Digital signals are discrete, represented by 0s and 1s (logic 0 and 1).
• Examples include binary code, digital audio signals (e.g., MP3), digital images (e.g., JPEG), digital video signals (e.g., MP4), and digital data in computers.

Unit 1.3: Digital Logic and Logic Gates

• Digital logic is fundamental in creating electronic devices like calculators, computers, digital watches.
• Logic gates are building blocks of digital circuits.
• Logic gates have two or more logic inputs (high or low) and one output.
• Common logic gates include AND, OR, NAND, NOR, NOT, Exclusive OR, and Exclusive NOR gates.
• Truth Tables demonstrate how these gates operate based on different input combinations.

Unit 1.3.4: Boolean Function and its Conversion

• Boolean functions: are expressions formed using binary variables, logical operators (AND, OR, NOT), parentheses, and an equal sign. Each variable takes on a value of 0 or 1.
• Boolean functions can be converted into logic circuits using AND, OR, and NOT gates.

Unit 1.3.5: Simplification of Boolean Function using Karnaugh Map

• Karnaugh Maps (K-Maps): are graphical representations of Boolean functions, simplifying them by grouping adjacent 1's to eliminate variables.

Unit 1.3.7: Principle of Duality in Boolean Algebra

• The principle of duality in Boolean algebra states that if a logical expression is formed by interchanging AND and OR operators, while complementing variables, that expression is logically equivalent to the original expression.

Unit 1.3.8: Uses of Logic Gates

• Logic gates are essential components in digital electronics and computing, used in applications like memory circuits, clock synchronization, data encoding/decoding, and more.

Unit 1.4 Software Development Life Cycle

• Software Development Life Cycle (SDLC) is a process of creating a new software or system.
• Different phases are:
  • Defining the problem
  • Planning
  • Feasibility study
  • Analysis
  • Requirement Engineering
  • Design
  • Development/Coding
  • Testing/Verification
  • Deployment
  • Documentation
  • Maintenance/Support

Test your knowledge of basic arithmetic operations such as addition, subtraction, multiplication, and division. Understand when to use each operation and the results they produce. This quiz will challenge your understanding of these fundamental concepts in mathematics.
