If we suppose that many natural phenomena are in effect computations, the study of computer science can tell us about the kinds of natural phenomena that can occur.

[edit] This Wiki
This wiki is in no way endorsed or a stem from the International Baccalaureate Organisation, it is, however, the result of particular lack of a solid textbook for the new 2014 course. These pages are, furthermore, derived from notes and knowledge of a student taking the course. This wiki will, hopefully, act as a course companion. You may find the Definitions page useful for revision.
[edit] Syllabus
The syllabus is an ideal document that should be referred to on a regular basis, whether reading this wiki or not. Therefore, each objective has been specified above the content that it is associated with. For example:
X.Y.Z Assessment statement that the candidate must fulfill.
The example aforementioned is self explanatory, however, the X.Y.Z refers to the topic, sub-topic and objective, respectively.
