Book excerpt: Binary Arithmetic is at the root of all computer mathematics; this important foundation of digital arithmetic makes every computing device that saves our time and energy possible. Binary logic has been around for a long time, but the number system first became very useful almost eighty years ago, when the first computing devices used this arithmetic logic to perform operations. Today, we have incredibly sophisticated devices that use chips or integrated circuits that are orders of magnitude more powerful than the unwieldy computers from a century ago, but the basic logic is still the same. This book is an introduction to the binary number system. It seeks to establish the equivalence between binary and decimal numbers; I have explained how to convert from one number system to the other, and I have also given you a large number of solved examples and sample exercises. This will enable you to become completely comfortable with how everything works. This is an essential precursor to understanding how binary arithmetic operations work. You can spend anywhere between five and fifty hours on this book; once you become comfortable with carrying out the conversions in your head, it's a good time to stop and reflect on what you have learned. This book also serves as a great refresher course for people who know the basics, but are a little rusty on how exactly everything works in the real world. Have a great time learning about the binary number system!
