ECM1400: Programming

We use computers in almost all aspects of our daily lives and throughout science, so it is easy to take them for granted. However, in order that we can use computers to solve new problems and create new things, we have to be able to program them. This module introduces you to programming and problem solving with a computer.  You will learn how to formulate an algorithm to solve a problem, and you will acquire the skills to write, test and debug programs.

This module is an introductory course in computer programming and will introduce you to the fundamental concepts of computer algorithms and programming, with a strong emphasis on practical implementation. You will also learn how to apply analytical and problem-solving skills to the design and implementation of small applications.

ECM1414: Data Structures and Algorithms

According to an old formula, Algorithms + Data Structures = Programs. This remains as true today as when it was originally formulated by Niklaus Wirth in 1976, and encapsulates the truism that all computation consists of the manipulation of data by means of systematic procedures. But data comes in many different forms (e.g., numerical, alphabetical, graphical) and only by knowing how it is structured can we specify the procedures – algorithms – for manipulating it to produce desired outcomes. Thus, the study of data structures and algorithms constitutes an integrated topic, which forms the subject matter of this module. You will be introduced to some of the key concepts in the area, with plenty of examples to illustrate them, and you will be given a chance to demonstrate your understanding by undertaking exercises. This module builds on the programming knowledge you have already acquired from ECM1400 Programming and will make use of mathematical tools introduced in ECM1415 (Discrete Mathematics for Computer Science) to enable data structures and algorithms to be described precisely.

Prerequisite module: ECM1400, ECM1415 or equivalent.

ECM1415: Discrete Mathematics for Computer Science

Discrete mathematics is concerned with quantities which vary discretely, and because of that has an important role in Computer Science, in which discrete structures such as sets, graphs, lists, and trees play a fundamental role, and the underlying forms of reasoning are based on propositional and predicate logic rather than on calculus and mathematical analysis, with an emphasis on counting rather than measuring, e.g. enumerating permutations and combinations of objects satisfying specified conditions. This module will provide a thorough grounding in the fundamental structures and methods of discrete mathematics that are required for computer science.

The aim of this module is to provide you with the basic concepts and tools developed in discrete mathematics disciplines but needed for the study of computer science. As such, it forms an essential part of a rounded education of a computer scientist or computer expert whose work includes computer-based data manipulations.

ECM1416: Computational Mathematics

Computer science draws from a wide range of essential mathematical techniques. This module will provide a solid foundation on the required mathematical tools and how to use them in solving computer science problems. This module will introduce linear algebra and vector spaces, statistics and probabilities and numerical optimization.  In the course of this module, you will learn to apply theoretical knowledge in concrete programming tasks.  This module complements previous mathematics module and is essential for all engaged in a Computer Science program.

In this module we aim to provide you with a foundation in the essential mathematical tools used in advanced computer science topics. We will teach you how to use vector and matrices, statistics and probabilities and numerical optimization methods and implement them in computer programs.
