Feb 18


     Reading week is coming and I don’t have any planning. The girl who has class with me dropped this course, so I also consider whether I should give up this course due to the low mark of last test. After talking to my mum, I still decide to keep working in it.
Last week we learn binary system. It is not that difficult because there are similar between binary system and decimal system, and we started to use decimal system in general mathematics when we were young. However, two states is the smallest so that binary system is the most easily designed in computer science. Decimal system is multiply each digit by the appropriate power of 10, and binary system is multiply each digit by the appropriate power of 2. For example, 1011=1*1000+0*100+1*10+1*1 in decimal system; 1011=1*8+0*4+1*2+1*1 in binary system. It is not that complicated. In addition, I found that the video is very useful for comprehending contents and finishing quiz. ;)
