Binary, hexadecimal, and octal refer to different number systems. The one that we typically use is called decimal. These number systems refer to the number of symbols used to represent numbers. In the decimal system, we use ten different symbols: 0, 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, and 9. With these ten symbols, we can represent any quantity.
We have two majors: a Bachelor of Science in geology and a Bachelor of Arts in geoscience. The B.S. in geology is a rigorous and well-rounded geology major that teaches all of the general skills needed to be successful for employment or graduate school in the field of geology.
If you study geology, youâll learn about the Earth's treasures, such as fossils and gems, as well as its dangers, such as volcanoes and earthquakes. Geology students look at the earth and the forces acting upon it, including the solids, liquids, and gasses that make it up. Study includes such topics as historical geology, rock and soil chemistry, and the use of minerals in industry. âYou don't look at a rock as having a life, but it really does.
