Course description and aims

The purposes of the first half of this class are to learn a basic programming technique of Python and to be able to make programs for numerical analysis by succeeding "Programming and numerical analysis". Students learn from basic grammar of Python to data structures such as list and array. Also, students learn algorithms of numerical analysis and machine learning, and learn to programs with these techniques.
The purpose of the second half of this class is to develop more practical abilities by succeeding "Programming and numerical analysis".Students will also gain an understanding of the basic algorithm of familiar and applied topics such as optimization and matching theory.

Student learning outcomes

Students can obtain the following abilities by this lecture
(1) Basic grammar of Python
(2) Algorithms of numerical simulation, machine learning, optimization
(3) Basic programming

Keywords

Programming, Numerical analysis, Algorithm, Python, Machine learning, Optimization

Competencies that will be developed

Specialist skills Intercultural skills Communication skills Critical thinking skills Practical and/or problem-solving skills

Class flow

In the beginning part of each class, students learn about grammar of a programming language and algorithms. After that, make programs based on them.

Course schedule/Required learning

  Course schedule Required learning
Class 1 Basic grammar and control of Python Be able to make simple programs of Python with branch and loops.
Class 2 Basic structure and numerical calculations Be able to make programs of Python with list and array, and numerical calculation using NumPy and SciPy.
Class 3 Function and class Be able to define and use the function and the class in Python programming.
Class 4 Machine learning with Python Be able to do simple machine learning with Python.
Class 5 Introduction to optimization (Gradient descent) Be able to write a program of gradient descent.
Class 6 Genetic Algorithm Be able to write a basic program of genetic algorithm
Class 7 Matching theory Be able to write a program of Gale-Shapley algorithm.

Out-of-Class Study Time (Preparation and Review)

To enhance effective learning, students are encouraged to spend approximately 100 minutes preparing for class and another 100 minutes reviewing class content afterwards (including assignments) for each class.
They should do so by referring to textbooks and other course material.
