Informatics (Since 2019)

I supervise hands-on sessions of this first year course. The course teaches students how to describe time-consuming and repetitive tasks in such a way that they can be performed automatically by a (network-based) computer system. To that end, students will acquire the necessary skills for computer-based creative problem solving through learning to think and work in (1) Python, a popular programming language, and (2) UNIX, the workhorse operating system of science and engineering. The computer problems that need to be solved are taken from different scientific disciplines, including mathematics, biology, chemistry, physics, and computer science.
