## Why This Exists
While taking my Machine Structures class I found it very difficult to conceptually understand and network the plethora of new found concepts. Thus I wrote up this brief synopsis of the concepts I found useful to understanding the core ideas. This is of course by no means **comprehensive** but I do hope it will provide you with a somewhat better understanding computer architecture. Please feel free to [email me](mailto:[email protected]) if you have an questions, suggestions, or corrections. Thanks and enjoy!
