Data and the capacity to process it are the most valuable assets in many fields. Through this unit, you will learn how data is represented, stored, and processed in computer systems.

The subject builds from low level concepts of digital logic, through data representation and computer architecture, to data processing and algorithms. You will develop a high level of technology literacy, including common data types, relationships between data, and how abstraction lets us move from low level hardware concepts to higher level programming concepts.

The subject aims to give you an introductory understanding of the links between logic, reasoning, data, and computation. This includes reasoning about algorithms, and also how programs can operate on concepts such as sets and graphs.

The subject also develops a general awareness of information security, ethical, and legal issues related to information technology.
