DD1343 Computer Science and Numerical Methods, part 1 7.5 credits

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.

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.

High school mathematics (scientific program). Some computer experience (the concepts of operating system and file and experience from one computer application, e.g. word processing). 5B1115/SF1608 Matematik I.

Will be announced at least 4 weeks before course start at course web page.

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

• LAB1 - Laboratory Work, 3.0 credits, grading scale: P, F
• MAT1 - Calculation Tasks, 1.5 credits, grading scale: P, F
• TEN1 - Examination, 3.0 credits, grading scale: A, B, C, D, E, FX, F

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.

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.

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