Binary Math

… oh, excuse me. I got side-tracked. Opened up the Wordpress Admin, and something else caught my eye. Anyway, down to business …
My last article, A Wise Bit (defunct), very vaguely touches on the concept of Binary Math. Afterwards, a few people who read this for the first time asked me about Binary Math because they were a bit confused. For the rest of you who may be interested, I directed them to the Wikipedia Entry. This is where I learned how Binary Math works, and I recommend it for anyone who’s looking to see how the Bitwise Functionality really ticks.

Binary math is definitely essential when beginning to understand the science behind computers. For some reason, students seem to have trouble with binary math – I attribute it to the fact that they don’t learn about number bases in math class.
Anyway, here’s a good site for learning the basics. There are also practice problems and a conversion tool that breaks back and forth conversion between the decimal and binary number systems.
