 The course introduces students with the basic concepts of the field of computer systems, giving them the necessary basic knowledge of the courses, studied in the following semesters of the training in the specialty. The history, purpose and composition of modern computer systems with their hardware and software (systematic and applied) are examined. Students study the structural elements of the computation process and the ways of its presentation, as well as the synthesis of algorithms for realization of basic (elemental) computing processes.
