The use of computers for technical/mathematical computations and simulations is central for many areas at DTU, and it is therefore necessary to have a working knowledge of computer programming. In the course students will learn about basic concepts and techniques in programming, as well as how to write programs with a focus on computations with technical/engineering applications. The participants will be able to design and develop well-structured smaller programs, test the design and program, read various data formats, and visualize the results graphically. One of the programming languages Matlab, Python or R is used.
A student who has met the objectives of the course will be able to:
