The aim of this course is to make students acquire basic knowledge in computer science. Throughout the course, students tackle a problem. In each class, the problem is selected from the important topics in computer science --- algorithm, computational complexity, simulation, numerical computation, cryptography, etc. Students are given some computational task and requested to make a program to accomplish the task. While learning/considering ways to solve/analyze problems to make a program for the task, students obtain important knowledge and skill in computer science applicable to various computational tasks.
At the end of this course, students will acquire basic knowledge and skills in computer science .
computer science, programming, algorithm.
