Students explore the evolution and classification of computers, the organisation of hardware and memory systems, and the representation of data through number systems and computer codes. The course covers computer arithmetic, Boolean algebra, and digital logic circuits before moving on to software categories, data communications, networking, productivity applications, and the Internet.
