Computational Thinking

In this unit I learnt how to:

A. understand mathematical methods for calculations and their uses in computational thinking

B. understand mathematical methods for functions and Boolean operations and their uses in computational thinking

C. apply computational thinking to solve a simple problem

In this unit, I achieved a distinction grade. I was asked to do various math related problems as part of the unit. For example, at the start we completed basic calculations (rounding and standard form) and then started to build up until we was converting between number systems. I learnt how to do basic maths. In addition, we learnt about linear and quadratic functions. We completed this unit first because all computing can relate to maths. I found this unit quite difficult. Learning how to convert between number systems taken some time to learn and I did get most of the calculations wrong until I understood where I went wrong. I have learnt how to use logical, algorithmic and optimal thinking to solve a problem.

My main assignments were to convert between number systems, write in standard form, linear and quadratic functions and Boolean operations.

This is also part of my assignment. I was asked to convert between different number systems.

These are some of the write up involved in assignment 1.

This is some of the course work I did on this unit. This isn't part of the assignment, but help us build up to it.
