Mathematical Methods for Computer Science
About
About the course
Course content
This course will introduce functions of one real variable, exponential, logarithm and trigonometric functions, differentiation and integration with applications. In addition we will introduce methods for solving linear equations and basic matrix algebra. This will enable us to discuss some applications of linear algebra in computer science.
Learning outcome
Make the students able to solve practical problems involving the subjects mentioned above.
Learning methods and activities
Lectures, compulsory exercises and mid-semester examination.
Portfolio assessment is the basis for the grade awarded in the course. This portfolio comprises a written final examination 80% and the semester assignment 20%. The mid-semester examination only counts if it has a positive effect on the total assessment. The results for the
constituent parts are to be given in %-points, while the grade for the whole portfolio (course grade) is given by the letter grading system.
