(objectives)
The objective of this module is to show to the students the fundamental aspects of computer science, aiming at introducing them to coding and paying particular attention to the development of their logical and problem-solving skills.
In the first part, thus, the bases of Boolean algebra (from its definition to logical operations) will be presented, followed by notions of logical functions and circuits.
In the second part, instead, Matlab® software will be used to teach to the students the bases of coding, so as to make them capable to solve algorithmically some mathematical problems. The main tools for image digital visualization and processing offered by Matlab® will be also introduced.
At the end of the course, students:
- will know the fundamental aspects of computer science;
- will be capable to solve mathematical problems using algorithms developed in Matlab®;
- will know the bases of image representation and processing.
The expected knowledge objectives are:
1) the theoretical knowledge of the contents of the course (Dublin descriptor n°1);
2) the competence in presenting technical topics (Dublin descriptor n°2);
3) the autonomy of judgment in proposing the most appropriate approach to solve a problem (Dublin descriptor n°3);
4) the ability to express the answers to the questions proposed by the board of examiners with language properties, to support a dialectical relationship during discussion and to demonstrate logical-deductive and summary abilities in the exposition (Dublin descriptor n°4).

(syllabus)
The course consists on a broad introduction on computer science and on a computer language: Python.
In the introductory part we start from binary numbers and boolean algebra to get to the basic working of a modern computer. Then we will introduce computer languages and then we get to Python.
After a general introduction on the language we will focus on the scientific modules that is numpy and scipy.
Then the similarities and the differences between Matlab® and these Python libraries will be illustrated.
