About this Unit
This unit introduces a broad range of topics which make up the study of computer science. The four broad areas to be examined are Machine Architecture (data storage and manipulation), Software (operating systems, networks, programming languages), Data Organisation (data structures, file structures, database structures) and Algorithmic Machines (Theory of Computation). The treatment is intended to prepare students for later in-depth treatment of these topics.
