Understanding Binary and Logic Gates

Description

Computers make decisions with only two states, and these PDF lessons explain how. After an introduction to the course, they cover how 0s and 1s represent information in digital systems, then the basic logic gates AND, OR and NOT.

Further lessons teach you to build truth tables, combine gates into simple circuits and see where binary logic appears in real devices. The closing lesson points to next steps in digital electronics. Exercises and tables appear in most lessons. After reading, you should be able to read a truth table and trace how a small circuit of gates produces its output, with a clear idea of how binary underlies digital devices.

Who it is for: complete beginners curious about how computers work at the lowest level.
