Document Summary

Computer enabled problem solving: computing in business: basics: the basics. Number in binary: how do you represent real numbers in binary: everything is powered by an algorithm the algorithm is the mathematical element that tells you the sequence of instructions that tells you what to do, application.

It and ict is everywhere: computers are everywhere, almost impossible to go to a store and not a computer (usually a cashier with a computer, almost impossible to go back to a cash based transaction. The very complexity of the world that we live in astounding, because we can not survive in this world with out the tools provided by it and ict. In urbanization: how would you manage transit, food, water etc. : we cant do that wirthout the help of it. Business problem space is increasing in complexity.
