IN1910 – Programming with Scientific Applications

After taking IN1910 you will:

• Have knowledge of and experience with more advanced use of Python programming language, including heritage and object-oriented programming, as well as using Python in combination with other programming languages.
• Have basic knowledge and experience with programming in C ++, including key concepts in object-orientation such as abstract classes and virtual methods.
• Have knowledge of some key data structures such as arrays and linked lists, with associated algorhythms
• Be able to generate random numbers and use these to run stochastic simulations.
• Know easier forms of algorithm analysis and optimization, such as profiling and parallelization.
• Be able to use version control and verification tools, including device testing and regression testing.

In addition to fulfilling the Higher Education Entrance Qualification, applicants have to meet the following special admission requirements:

• Mathematics R1 or Mathematics (S1+S2)

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 (in Norwegian).

Portfolio assessment and an oral exam. The students will develop and submit a larger application system with corresponding documentation, and everyone will have an oral exam where they demonstrate that their program works and explains central parts of the program and the underlying mathematics.

Both the portfolio- and exam-part must be passed to pass the course.

Students who can document a valid reason for absence from the oral examination are offered a postponed examination.

New oral examinations are offered at the beginning of the next semester for students who did not pass the oral exam, provided they have passed the portfolio assessment.
