Protocol
The status of assignments will be kept on the web.
To protect identity, you will be assigned a UNIQUE 3 character code.
That is the only identifier that will be used.
Your NAME & CODE must be on every assignment.
No ID code = no credit. Period.
Keep papers flat. (NO folding.)
Staple if necessary. (NO tearing edge to hold together.)
Write only on one side. (NO name or other information on the back.)
Only one assignment should be on a page.
If multiple assignments are turned in, place each on a separate page.
You do the assignments on time, and you will excel with a high probability of an A.
This is fun stuff, if you will let it to be.
We will do some different things, I promise you will not do in any other class.
We are a TEAM.
Let’s work together to make this a pleasant learning experience.
Pre-Quiz
State the reason you are taking the class.
Write it out, not just the number

Easy A
Like logic and controls
Required, no particular interest in logic
Required, interest in computers & controls
Give other reason
Chapter 1
Introduction
It is about
numbers 0 & 1

Logic = Philosophy
Mathematical process
Binary number system
Only two digits – 0 & 1
Algebra
Just another one
Different number system
Same rules
Note that the number one less than 2n consists of n 1’s
(for example, 24 – 1 = 1111 = 15 and 25 – 1 = 11111 = 31).
Binary Addition
0+0=0
0+1=1
1+0=1
1+1=10
This is a sum of 0, with a Carry to next bit
Hexadecimal numbers
Binary in groups of four
24 = 16

Weighted codes: 8, 5, 2; sum of each digit times its weight. 8*a + 4*b + 2*c + 1*d =???
XS3: decimal is binary equivalent +3; Decimal 0 = binary 3 (011)
2/5: error checking; each number has two 1’s and 2 0’s
Other codes: ASCII; ASCII 30 = Decimal 1, 31 = 1, etc includes letters and controls
5421 & XS3: 10’s complement is complementing each bit and adding 1, like 2’s comp
Homework
The Practice test at the end of each chapter
Due each Thursday after the chapter is completed.
