+</div>This lecture provided an introduction to the technical foundations of computer science and the architecture of computers.
+Topics introduced in the lecture include representation of information in computers, classical components of a computer, arithmetic in computers, logical design of computers, switching circuits, representation of memory contents, primary and secondary memories, input and output, and pipelining.
+More concrete:
+
+- Representation as bits: (numbers, text, images, audio, video, programs).
+- Storage and Transfer of data, error detection and correction
+- Boolean algebra
+- Processing of data: circuit design, switching networks
+- Number representation and arithmetic
+- Switching functions, switching networks, switching plants
+- Von Neumann model
+- Machine model
+- Machine and assembly language programming
+- Introduction to Quantum Computing
