sure thing - read the strips in horizontal rows of 10 bits from the top down, giving a white pixel a value of 0 and a black pixel a 1. So, on the gray code strip on the right, we see:
Upvoted for the mentioning of Karnaugh maps! For a subject I'm not particularly interested in (binary arithmetic and logic), I found Karnaugh maps and some of the stuff we did with them in Phy220 quite brilliant and interesting.
A 101 course is, traditionally, the first course in a series while 'EE' is traditionally 'Electrical Engineering.' Hence, 'EE101' is an idiomatic way (at least in America) to indicate the first Electrical Engineering course a student would take in college.
The rule of thumb is that '100'-level courses are for first year undergrads, '200'-level for second years, '300' level for 3rd years, '400' for fourth years, and '500'-level for graduate courses.
There are, obviously, a lot of exceptions. Many people will take 200/300 level courses their first year if they are comfortable with the subject. And a handful of schools use entirely different systems - my current school uses '000'-level to denote 'introductory' courses, '100'-level for 'advanced' undergrad, and '200'-level to signify a graduate course.
One term is a semester, which is ~ 4months. Most classes meet about 4 hours a week, so ~60 hours of class time per term. Profs always say you should spend 2 hours studying out of class for every hour in class, but very few people do that - I probably average about 1 hour out of class per 3 hours in class (but some classes take far more time).
So, figure a bare minimum of 60 hours, an average of about 80 hours, and an upper bound of about 200 hours (very rare, but there are a few classes that have problem sets from hell).

[ 2.8 ms ] story [ 37.1 ms ] threadI get gray codes (yay Karnaugh maps from EE101!), but I just don't see the binary numbers - someone mind explaining?
My guess is Electrical Engineering course number id 101 and Physics course number id 220.
Did you guys attend the same college or is there a larger part of the world where these ids are standardized?

For example you may see in the teachers guide of a textbook: This can be covered in a one-term course.
How much 'study volume' i.e. study hours total does such a one-term course comprise?

No further questions. You may rest :)
