| Title |
Introduction to Computer Science |
| Description |
The aim of this course is to provide an overview of the most important topics and basic notions in computer science. A self-contained topic is presented for each double lesson and practically deepened in the associated tutorial lesson. The lecture deals with topics such as algorithms, recursion, parallelism, analysis of algorithms, finite automata, computer networks, databases, operating systems, complexity, digital sustainability, data processing and visualization, discretization and graphs, cryptography, randomized algorithms, modeling and simulation. The lecture includes theoretical and practical exercises. No previous knowledge of computer science is required.
Sustainability is of great importance in computer science and especially in connection with digitization. Fundamental aspects cover copyright, data protection and data access (especially in connection with large private companies such as Facebook and Google). Sustainable development is also relevant to reduce or avoid resource consumption (e.g. energy saving measures in data centers or reduction of travel through the use of ICT tools such as video conferences) in order to create sustainable knowledge and to build innovative principles for the use of data and software (e.g. share data, information and source code). |
