The main goal of the course is to acquaint students with the computer organisation and the computer
\nsystem organisation. Students should acquire knowledge of numeral systems, the representation of
\nnumbers in the computer, the organisation of computer functions as a whole and the organisation of
\ncomputer system components and trends in computer development. Upon completion of the course,
\nstudents should gain knowledge of the basic concepts in the field of computer organisation,
\nevolutionary trends in computer development and an insight into the application of data processing to
\ndigital computers, organisation of components and ways of interconnecting computer system
\ncomponents.<\/p>\n
