Computer Number Bases: Computer Mathematics Series

Computer Number Bases covers base 10 (decimal) , base 2 (binary), base 8 (Octal) and base 16 (Hexadecimal). It is an open textbook. It is considered open because a teacher is free to make copies of pages for overhead classroom projectors and also redistribute copies of pages for remote on-line learning over the Internet (on condition the author William R. Parks of www.wrparks.com is credited). The material in the book may be used for self-paced remote learning activities which take place independent of the instructor. This text can be used as a self-teaching guide with practical examples, exercises and answers. Reproduction for commercial resale is prohibited. This book gives excellent explanations suitable for homeschooling and library learning centers. “Computer Number Bases" was originally published by Williamsville Publishing Company as part of their popular programmed instruction computer math series – printed texts with audio cassettes. This is the print edition. The version listed here is republished as a printed text by Hershey Books and available on Amazon along with other books in the Computer Mathematics Series: "Introduction to Logic," "Boolean Algebra" and "Sets and Flowcharts." These titles contribute to STEM-based instruction. STEM is an acronym that includes education in the fields of science, technology, engineering, mathematics and computer science. These areas of knowledge help students learn to communicate better in mathematics and computer science using sets, numbers, logic and flowcharts and for displaying information in various ways. "Computer Number Bases" was submitted for review in "The Mathematics Teacher" and received praise - "The development is well done." The four-volume computer math series is published in the United States by Hershey Books – listed at www.wrparks.com and available from Amazon. Questions are listed in exercises at the end of each section in the series and the answer key is conveniently located after each exercise.
