Abstract

The initial module offers a practical introduction to some basic concepts and techniques for information processing as well as practical applications of them. The programming language are Python and SQL.

Objective

Participants learn... - how to encode a problem into a program, test the program, and correct errors. - to understand and improve existing code. - deal with the complexity of real data. - store data in a suitable data structure. - query databases and understand and evaluate the corresponding database model. - to implement mathematical models as a simulation.

Content

The following programming concepts are introduced during this module: 1. Variables, data types 2. Condition check, loops, logics 3. Sequential data types 4. Functions and Modules In the practical part of the course, students work on small programming projects with a context from natural sciences. Electronic tutorials are available as preparation.
