Content and learning outcomes

Course contents

Introduction to how a computer works and introduction to computer hardware. Programming in a modern programming language (Python). Computer science concepts such as structures for algorithms and data. Principles for data abstraction, modularization, and program structuring.

During the second year the theoretical knowledge is applied in a programming project.

Intended learning outcomes

After passed course the student is expected to be able to:

  • utilize computers to solve technical problems
  • break down problems into smaller manageable problems
  • create user friendly and well-structured programs
  • discuss concepts in computer science with correct terms
  • find and use right technique for a given problem
  • utilize Matlab for graphic utilization.

In more details the student is expected to be able to:

  • utilize right technique to manage error caused by unsuitable program inputs
  • create flexible programs
  • find and use right data structure and technique for a given problem
  • write technical documentation for your own programs.

Based on recommendation from KTH’s coordinator for disabilities, the examiner will decide how to adapt an examination for students with documented disability.

The examiner may apply another examination format when re-examining individual students.

If the course is discontinued, students may request to be examined during the following two academic years.

In this course all the regulations of the code of honor at the School of Computer science and Communication apply, see: http://www.kth.se/csc/student/hederskodex/1.17237?l=en_UK.

Other requirements for final grade

Laboratory assignments (LAB1; 3 university credits)
Written examination (TEN1; 3 university credits)
Laboratory assignment in Matlab (MAT1; 1,5 university credits)
