The topics covered in this learning activity (LO) focus on two fundamental areas: propositional logic and information encoding.

The first part introduces the basics of formal logic: the nature and truth value of propositions, logical operators, truth tables, quantifiers, converses, and contrapositives.

The second part is dedicated to coding systems used in computer science: binary and hexadecimal representations, base conversions, number encoding, alphanumeric encoding (ASCII), and the use of binary/hexadecimal for color representation.
Learning outcomes of the learning unit :
Collaborate in the design, improvement and development of technical projects:

  • Develop a working methodology
  • Analyze a given situation from its technical and scientific aspects
  • Propose solutions that take constraints into account
