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 fors of itegers ad real, or floatig poit, uber
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.
