Programming for Data Science A.Y. 2019/20

This is an introductory course to computer programming and related mathematical/logic background for students without a Bachelor in Computer Science or in Computer Engineering. The objective is to smoothly introduce the student to the programming concepts and tools needed for typical data processing and data analysis tasks. The course consists of lectures and practice in computer labs.

Software

  • Python programming: Anaconda distribution of Python 3. Computers at lab rooms include it both on Linux and Windows OS.
  • C programming (Linux): either gedit (or equivalent text editor) and gcc. If you do not have gcc on your machine, check next item. Gedit and gcc are available on computers at lab room (Linux only).
  • C programming (Windows) Either DevC++ (already installed on LabMachines) or install CygWin (not on lab machines – on your PC) or install a Virtual Machine (such us VirtualBox) running any Linux distribution.
  • Editor for C files on Windows Either use the DevC++ editor, or use Notepad++ .
  • Unix Shell Either use Linux on lab machines, or install CygWin (on your PC).
  • Python/C online including visualization of memory state PythonTutor.
  • Jupyter Notebooks shown during theory classes GitHub

Exams

Exams is made out of two parts:

  1. Written part, in Lab: solve programming exercises in both Python and C (using computers' labs)
  2. Oral part: discussion of all topics covered during the course

Registration to exams is mandatory: register here

IMPORTANT: To be able to solve the C exercises during the exam, you need to use DevC++ installed in the Windows partition of the computers' lab. Please, read carefully the instructions in the Software section above.
