Welcome to the Introduction to Computing Systems course! This course aims to teach you what a computer is and how it can be programmed. In this course, you will learn about the basic building blocks required to understand the structure of a computer. You will gain insights into numbers, bits, structures to implement operations on numbers, and structures to control the execution of commands by a computer. This course introduces you to logic gates and combinational and sequential circuits. You will learn about a simple processor design with a small instruction set architecture. You will also perform basic assembly programming with that processor. This course covers a wide variety of topics in computing systems that are designed to give you an overview of what’s to come in the BITS Pilani BSc Computer Science degree program.
