Prelude to Computer Science - 5: Binary Numbers
Posted by: TheFallibleFiend

Video duration: 363 seconds

Computers use binary numbers internally, because components that use binary are easier and cheaper to build. Whenever you type a number into the computer, it gets converted to binary internally, and then back to decimal for output. (Actually, it's converted to ASCII for output, but that's for a later discussion.)

Evolution Explained: Response to Octamed Challenge
Posted by: TheFallibleFiend

Video duration: 581 seconds

Explanation of evolution for Octamed.
Pro-evolution, of course. Just realized I posted a response to his video 2 months ago ... so I must have been aware of it at one time.
Just caught a mistake in the last bullet at t=2:20, namely that a population will increase without bound IF THERE IS NO PRESSURE ON IT.

Prelude to Computer Science - 4: Essential Math, Base 10
Posted by: TheFallibleFiend

Video duration: 312 seconds

The number system with which most of us are familiar is a base-10, positionally-weighte d number system. The concepts used to understand this number system will be directly transferable to understanding the number systems often used in studying computers.

	Is Infinity a Number? Posted by: TheFallibleFiend Video duration: 385 seconds Yes. It's a number, but I would argue that declaring it an integer results in Russell's Paradox, if we use the same Zermelo-Frankl definition of integers that you employed. Related: infinity, mathematics, number, transfinite

Prelude to Computer Science - 14: A simple program in BASIC
Posted by: TheFallibleFiend

Video duration: 393 seconds

We examine a very simple program in the BASIC programming language. BASIC is an acronym for Beginner's All-Purpose Symbolic Instruction Code. Some programmers really like acronyms. The program asks the user for two numbers, adds the numbers, and prints the results.
