Understanding Computer Architecture

This module introduces students to the fundamental number system used by computers - binary arithmetic. Students will learn how computers represent and manipulate data using only two digits (0 and 1), understanding the principles behind binary operations and how they enable all computer calculations.

This module explores the fundamental building blocks of digital computers - transistors and logic gates. Students will learn how transistors function as digital switches and how they can be combined to create basic logic gates that form the foundation of all digital circuits.

This module focuses on understanding and creating truth tables for basic logic gates. Students will learn to analyze the behavior of AND, NOT, and OR gates both individually and in combination, developing skills in logical reasoning and circuit analysis through systematic truth table construction.

This module teaches students how to combine individual logic gates to create more complex digital circuits capable of performing mathematical calculations. Students will learn to design and understand circuits that can process binary data and execute computational operations.

This module covers the fundamental architecture that underlies modern computers - the Von Neumann Architecture and the Fetch-Execute cycle. Students will learn about the key components of computer systems and understand how computers systematically retrieve and execute instructions to perform complex tasks.
