Learning outcomes
The student is introduced to the principles, project methodologies and fundamental tools for the development of computer applications, investigating some classic computational problems, proceeding for each of them to the identification of suitable solution algorithms, formalized in terms of the C programming language. The student acquires: - familiarity and mastery of the programming language; - ability to translate a problem into an algorithm; - theoretical aspects of computer science and computing systems.
Course contents
After a discussion with the Electrical Engineering course coordination, the course program has been modified to use Python as a target language. All other learning outcomes are unchanged.
The course content will include:
- Introduction to Computer Science
- Using the terminal emulator
- Python interpreter and Jupyter notebbok
- Structured Programming
- Functions
- Collections
- Operative System and Hardware
- Vector computations in Python
- Elements of Functional Programming in Python
- Elements of Object Oriented Programming in Python
- Elements of numerical methods in Python
In terms of applications, the course will focus on the solution on using Python to address numerical problems.
