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.
Course Spotlight. In an introductory geology class, youâll learn the basics of the major. Youâll learn how to identify rocks, minerals, and fossils. You may also cover such topics as plate tectonics. Plate tectonics is the theory that land masses, such as continents, are on plates that move across the surface of the earth.
