Binary Representation and Arithmetic Concepts

The video tutorial transitions from assembly programming to computer arithmetic, focusing on binary number representation and operations. It explains unsigned and signed binary representations, comparing them with ASCII representation. The tutorial demonstrates how to perform mathematical operations like addition and subtraction in binary, emphasizing the efficiency of binary over ASCII for numerical computations.
