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. Free to register.
