Learning Outcomes

Learning outcomes

This course offers an introduction to the Computer Science. It mainly focuses on how to algorithmically solve simple and complex mathematical problems. It provides basic programming techniques using a high-level programming language such as C/C ++. Moreover, the course analyzes the basic numbering systems, it provides the basic arithmetic operations in different numerical systems and refers to the representation of information on computer systems. Additionally, the course provides basic concepts of mathematical logic, such as Boolean algebra, and principles that govern the semantic and syntactic approach of propositional logic. Upon completion of the course, the students will be able to:

  • Recognize different numbering systems and process number representations on computer systems.
  • Understand basic concepts and theorems of propositional logic, make use of metatheorems of propositional logic and understand the formal proof of logical expressions through the syntactic approach.
  • Describe basic algorithms for solving simple and complex mathematical problems and implement algorithms by using basic concepts of a programming language (C/C ++).

The course includes laboratory exercises in which the participation is obligatory.

General Competences
  • Search for, analysis and synthesis of data and information, with the use of the necessary technology
  • Working independently
  • Team work
  • Project planning and management
  • Development of algorithmic thinking
