Omschrijving | This course provides a “taster” of many courses taught throughout the curriculum. Furthermore, in the second half of the course, the students will apply programming skills acquired in Imperative Programming to a larger programming problem. As the name indicates, this course aims to give an overview of computer science, both in terms of research areas and in terms of applications. A further aim is to further mathematical skills required in computer science. The course will answer questions like
During the lectures, material from the book will be presented by different lecturers, extended by examples from research performed here in Groningen, whenever possible. During the tutorial sessions, solutions homework assignments will be presented and discussed (by students). In the first half of the course, students must read an IEEE Computer Magazine article and write an essay on it. In the second half, they must implement a larger program (in pairs). Week 1 - 8 Lectures, tutorials Week 1-4 Students write an essay on an articles from IEEE Computer as homework assignment Week 5-8 Students work on their programming project |

Opmerkingen | All CS bachelor courses have limited enrollment: - CS students can always enter each course, regardless of whether the course is mandatory for them or not. - A maximum of only 20 places per course is available for non-CS students. These places are filled on a first-come-first-served basis, with priority given to students with a strong CS-related background (e.g., CS exchange students, AI students, etc.). These students need to meet the course prerequisite requirements as mentioned on Ocasys. - Six weeks before the course starts, the 20 students that can join are selected and added to the course. If you enroll after this date, you will be placed on the waiting list.
