Analog and Digital: Interconnection Between Physical World and Computer World

1. The document discusses the differences between analog and digital signals and the conversions between the two. Analog signals are physical signals that carry continuous information, while digital signals used in computing are discrete binary numbers. 2. It explains the process of quantization which converts an analog signal to a digital one by sampling the analog signal at regular time intervals and grouping its amplitude into discrete levels. This allows analog signals from the physical world to be represented as digital values. 3. The document also covers resolution levels in quantization and discusses how more quantization levels provide better representation of the original analog signal, but require more data storage.
