* The binary numbering system plays a central role in how information of all kinds is stored on the computer. Understanding binary can lift a lot of the mysteries from computers because at a fundamental level they're really just machines for flipping binary digits on and off. There are several activities on binary numbers in this document, all simple enough that they can be used to teach the binary system to anyone who can count! Generally children learn the binary system very quickly using this approach, but we find that many adults are also excited when they finally understand what bits…

In computers binary code is the language that communicated between applications. Binary Code is a coding system using only digits 0 and 1 to represent a letter, digit or other characters in a computer. It is hard to imagine that huge and hard calculations are done on computers applications, which only use a 0 or 1 to come up with the solution. Binary is a base 2 numbering system. Which means each digit can be one of two values, a 1 or a 0. Our traditional numbering system, decimal, is a base 10; using values 0 – 9. Binary numbers can be converted into decimal numbers and vise versa.…

Computers only understand one language and that is the machine language (binary code). This type of language is represented in a two digit sequence zero (0) or one (1). Computers use this machine language to represent every task that they perform by means of electrical current that go through switches (capacitors). If a switch has current it means that the switch is “ON” in machine language this will be represented as the number “one”. If there is no current going through the switch then it is considered to be “OFF” and represented in binary code as the number “zero”.…

A gate accepts one or more input signals and produces an output signal. Each type of gate performs one logical function. A circuit is a combination of gates designed to accomplish a more complex logical function.…
With increasing popularity of computer games, and multimedia home PC users often need an unexpensive computer system upgrade. By building a custom computer one is able to combine componenets, and operating system to provide maximal gaming performance. Computers are often called number manipulators, because of their ability to run millions of mathematical operations per second (White 43). Computers use binary system of numbers, which allows them to operate system of microscopic switches called transistors found inside of computer chips. Binary system is defined as counting system that uses two digits one and zero (Gookin 49). A transistor is a basic building block of microchips; transistors are combined in formations called logic gates (White 39). "Transistor can only create binary information: one if current passes through or zero if current does not, to work with transistors"(White 39). Computer software uses Boolean logic, which is based on selecting true or false values used in computer programming (White 39). All personal computers have BIOS, which is an acronym for Basic Input Output System. The BIOS runs every time the computer is started, and it basically tells the computer how to act (White 19). The BIOS is a part of the boot up process, or a complex set of operations checking hardware that components are working properly. Besides BIOS and several other operations there is poweron self-test - POST being ran. POST test runs at the start up, and if it finds an error, it sends a warning message (White 5). Central processing unit CPU is the most important part of the personal computer, all other components work as a bridge to CPU (White 59). The speed of the processor is usually defined by using units called megahertz (MHz, also million frequency waves per second). CPUs are generally divided into two categories- CISC and RISC. CISC complex instruction set computing, uses many small instructions to carry out a single operations. CISC is a standard in today…
Boolean algebra finds its most practical use in the simplification of logic circuits. If we translate a logic circuit's function into symbolic (Boolean) form, and apply certain algebraic rules to the resulting equation to reduce the number of terms and/or arithmetic operations, the simplified equation may be translated back into circuit form for a logic circuit performing the same function with fewer components. If equivalent function may be achieved with fewer components, the result will be increased reliability and decreased cost of manufacture.…
In computer science, the binary numeral system, or base-2 numeral system, represents numeric values using two symbols: 0and 1. More specifically, the usual base-2 system is a positional notation with a radix of 2. Numbers represented in this system are commonly called binary numbers. Because of its straightforward implementation in digital electronic circuitry using logic gates, the binary system is used internally by almost all modern computers and computer-based devices such as mobile phones.…
