你将学到什么
Explain how transistors can act as digital switches and be combined to create logic gates
Produce truth tables for AND, NOT and OR gates, individually or combined
Explain how computers use binary arithmetic
Describe how logic gates can be combined to produce digital circuits that can perform a calculation
Describe Von Neuman Architecture and the Fetch-Execute cycle
课程概况
On this course, you’ll gain an understanding of how computers work at a fundamental level.
You’ll explore system architecture, along with how computers use binary and logic. Once you’ve examined the von Neumann model of computer architecture and the Fetch-Execute cycle, you’ll learn to build a range of simple circuits for maths, and then simulate various logic gates.
Ultimately you’ll complete the course with an understanding of the processes that underpin every modern computer – from supercomputers to smartphones, and everything in between.
