Computer Science for Mathematicians

This is a second course in computer science, which assumes that you have already taken a course equivalent to DA2004 Programming techniques for mathematicians.

You will learn to work on the command line and, e g, use version control systems and unit testing; analyse and compare algorithms with respect to time- and memory-complexity; use and implement basic sorting algorithms, depth-first and width-first search; stacks, queues, hash tables and similar data structures; write simple routines with processes and threads.

  • Course structure

    The course consists of three elements; theory, project assignment and practical exercises.

    Teaching format

    Teaching consists of lectures, project work and computer exercises.

    Assessment

    The course is assessed through a written exam, oral presentation (at a computer) of practical exercises, and written presentation of the project assignment. For a passing grade on the course, a passing grade on each element is required.
