First course in Computer Science
The teaching unit aims at introducing the student in the field of modern electronic methods for the management of information, related communications and basic methods of calculation.The teaching unit follows two distinct strands; the first concerns the study of the architecture of computing systems, the representation of information within them, the organization and operation of networks and of the Internet;the second teaches on the fundamentals of programming.
By the end of the course, students will:
○ Understand fundamental concepts of computer architectures, computer programming/imperative structured programming languages
○ Design algorithms to solve (simple) problems
○ Use the C programming language
This course has no prerequisite.
Lessons will be in presence and/or online
