The Magic of Codes

Computers use binary codes to store and process all digital information. Binary code represents data using only 1s and 0s to correspond to electrical on/off states. Mathematics plays a key role in developing codes to securely transmit this digital information. Codes like Hamming codes add redundant bits to detect errors during transmission and storage, ensuring the integrity of computer data in our increasingly digital world.

The Magic of

Codes
CODES Idea
• Mathematics goes beyond basic
calculations
• It enables the creation of codes
and ciphers
• These protect information for
individuals and society
Binary Codes : The
Language of Computers

• Computers understand
information in binary code
• Binary code consists of 0s
and 1s
• These represent electrical
states (on/off)
Integers in
Computers
• Computers store numbers as binary
codes
• Each digit in a decimal number has a
corresponding binary value
• We need to convert between decimal
and binary for calculations
Logic and
Computer Addition

• Computer addition uses binary


logic
• Addition involves carrying over
bits when necessary
• Understanding logic is crucial for
computer operations
Text Data:
From Letters to Bits

• Text data is converted to


binary codes using ASCII
• ASCII assigns unique binary
codes to letters, numbers,
and symbols
• This allows computers to
process and display text
information
Errors and
Error Correction
• Errors can occur during
data transmission or storage
• Errors can corrupt
information, making it
unusable
• Error correction techniques
are used to detect and fix
errors
Error Detecting Codes: Catching Mistakes

• Error detecting codes add


redundant bits to data.
• These bits help identify errors
during transmission or storage.
• Example: Parity codes (even or odd
number of 1s)
Repetition and Hamming Codes:
Adding Strength

• Repetition codes repeat each data


bit multiple times.
• This increases the chance of
detecting errors.
• Hamming codes are more complex
but offer stronger error detection.
Conclusion

CODES ARE ESSENTIAL FOR SECURE MATHEMATICS PLAYS A VITAL ROLE IN FROM BINARY CODES TO ERROR
COMMUNICATION AND DATA STORAGE. DEVELOPING THESE CODES. CORRECTION, CODES ENSURE THE
INTEGRITY OF INFORMATION IN OUR
DIGITAL WORLD.
Definitions of Key Terms:
• Binary Code: The language of computers, consisting of only two digits: 0 (off) and 1 (on).
These digits represent electrical states within the computer.
• Integers in Computers: Whole numbers stored in computers using binary code. Each
decimal digit (0-9) has a corresponding binary value (a combination of 0s and 1s).
Converting between decimal and binary is crucial for computer calculations.
• Logic Gates: The fundamental building blocks of computer circuits (AND, OR, NOT).
These gates act like switches, manipulating binary digits (0 or 1) based on the input and
performing operations like addition.
• Text Data: Information we communicate with, consisting of letters, numbers, and symbols.
Computers cannot understand these characters directly. ASCII (American Standard Code
for Information Interchange) bridges this gap by assigning unique binary codes to each
character, allowing computers to process and display text data.
Definitions of Key Terms:
• Errors and Error Correction: Data errors can occur during transmission or storage due
to various factors (electrical noise, physical damage). Corrupted data becomes unusable.
Error correction techniques are employed to detect and fix these errors, ensuring data
integrity.
• Error Detecting Codes: An extra layer of protection for data. These codes add redundant
bits (checksum) to the original data. By comparing the original and recalculated checksum
at the receiving end, errors can be identified. Example: Parity codes ensure an even or
odd number of 1s in the data with the redundant bit.
• Repetition Codes: Enhance error detection by repeating each data bit multiple times (e.g.,
101 becomes 11001100). This increases the chance of detecting errors but also increases
the amount of data to transmit.
• Hamming Codes: A more sophisticated error detection technique. They add check bits to
the data based on mathematical formulas. Hamming codes not only detect errors but also
pinpoint their location within the data stream.
