Students will be presented an overview of computer organization anddesign. Using the assembly language MIPS the organization levels fromlogic gates to the data path are described. Additional topics fromtheoretical and practical computer science are Turing machines,information theory, computer networks and data bases.

In this lecture, basic terms of computer science are introduced.Emphasis is given on:The Internet as a data source for literature search and as a platform for publication.Introduction to MATLAB, a powerful tool for scientific computation and data processing.Introduction to relational database systems with exersices in Access.

Internship in a computer science company, which is admitted by the CS Department at ETH. Minimum 10 weeks fulltime employment.
