NUMBER SYSTEM AND COMPUTER ARITHEMETIC
Number Systems and Computer Arithmetic: Number systems are fundamental to representing and manipulating numerical information in computers. Different number systems, such as binary, decimal, octal, and hexadecimal, play crucial roles in computer arithmetic. Computer arithmetic introduces errors due to limitations in representation precision. Designers must carefully consider the trade-offs between representation precision and storage efficiency to ensure accurate and efficient computations.

CONTROL UNIT DESIGN
The control unit is a critical component of a computer's central processing unit (CPU) responsible for managing the execution of instructions. It acts as the brain of the CPU, coordinating the flow of data between various components to ensure that instructions are executed in the correct sequence. The design of the control unit is a crucial aspect of computer architecture.

MEMORY DESIGN
Memory in a computer system plays a vital role in storing and retrieving data for processing. Memory design involves creating the architecture, organization, and management of various types of memory components within a computer.
