Introduction to computer programming using the Python language.
Most programming examples are inspired by problems from mathematics. The mathematical topics are synchronized with MAT-INF1100 - Modelling and computations and MAT1100 - Calculus, and put into a science framework such that the students see how problems in physics, statistics/probability, biology, medicine and econimics can be solved with the aid of mathematics and computer programming.
After the course, the students will be able to develop their own programs in Python, based on a simple problem description. The students will in particular be trained in using the computer to solve problems from calculus and visualize the solutions. This experience will put the students in a good position to use the computer to solve exercises in other university courses.
The students will have sufficient understanding and overview of Python to find necessary additional information on their own. The students will get an introduction to object-oriented programming in Python and see how Java can be used for the same purpose. The students will be able to learn similar programming languages, such as C++, and be well prepared for INF1010 - Object Oriented Programming and later courses that apply programming environments such as Matlab, IDL and R (S-Plus).
Students who are admitted to study programmes or individual courses at UiO must each semester register which courses and exams they wish to sign up for in StudentWeb.
International applicants, if you are not already enrolled as a student at UiO, please see our information about admission requirements and procedures for international applicants.
Only students admitted to the course may take part in instruction and tuition and sit for the examination.
MAT-INF1100 - Modelling and computations in the same semester or previous.
In addition to fulfilling the basic entrance requirements to higher education in Norway, applicants have to meet the following special admission requirements:
The special admission requirements may also be covered by equivalent studies from Norwegian upper secondary school or by other equivalent studies. Read more about special admission requirements.
2FY/3MX from Norwegian upper secondary school, or have completed equivalent studies in mathematics and physics at upper secondary school or university level at another educational institution.
6 credits against INF1000 - Introduction to object-oriented programming. 6 credits against INF101. 6 credits against IN105.
Also some overlap with GEO1040 - Introduction to programming with applications in geosciences (will be updated)
2 hours of lectures, 2 hours of rehearsals and 2 hour group work with tutor.
Mandatory assignments which must be approved in order to take the exam.
3 hour written exam at the end of the semester.
No special exam resources are allowed.
Course grades are awarded on a descending scale using alphabetic grades from A to E for passes and F for fail.
Course auditor: Halvard Moe
An external auditor regularly evaluates the academic quality of the course, including the form of exam used on the course.
This subject offers new examination in the beginning of the subsequent term for candidates who withdraw during an ordinary examination or fail an ordinary examination. For general information about new examination, see www.matnat.uio.no/studier/studieinformasjon/eksamen/kontinuasjon.html and www.matnat.uio.no/english/studies/examination/repeat.html
The subject is regarded equal to INF1000 when practicing exam regulations.
