Binary and hexadecimal

This is an explanation of binary and hexadecimal, and how computers store numbers. It is intended for people who don't know anything about the subject or who are struggling to learn. It is Chapter 40 taken from my book about waves, but I thought it might be useful as a separate PDF.
