MGMT 1000 Lecture Notes - Lecture 1: Binary Number
MGMT 1000 Lecture 1 Notes – Number Base
Introduction
• You will learn how to convert from one number base to another.
• Although the binary number system is used within computers, we must be able to
convert between the systems the computer uses and the more familiar decimal system
that we use.
• You will also have a chance to work with the octal and hexadecimal number systems,
which are closely related to the binary system.
• These are frequently used for representing computer data and programs in machine
form because they are easy to read and easy to convert to and from binary form.
• In we will explore the ways in which data gets into the computer in the first place and
the different forms that it can take inside the computer.
• We will consider text, sound, and images.
• You will study the difference between characters and other symbols stored as text and
the same symbols stored as images.
• You will see the different binary codes that are used to represent symbols in text form.
• We will also consider the difference between numbers stored as groups of numeric
characters and those stored in actual numerical form.
• Look at the representations of graphics, photo images, and sound.
• We present several different formats that are used for the manipulation and storage of
image and sound data.
• We will look at various ways in which numbers are stored and manipulated in
computers.
• We consider various fors of itegers ad real, or floatig poit, uber
representations and calculations.
• We discuss the conversion process between real and integer number representations.
• We look at the strengths and shortcomings of each type from the perspectives of data
storage requirements and calculation considerations.
