The course of Introduction to Computer Science is part of the Computer Science training activities of the undergraduate degree course in Communication Sciences. This course aims to provide a basic knowledge of the main issues and problems of computer science in their theoretical dimension and in their connections with other disciplines and research fields as, e.g., Logic and Computational Linguistics. Within the framework of this path, the teaching aims to provide: 1) an introduction to theoretical and technological aspects of computer science used in communication sciences; 2) a basic knowledge of information science and information technology, to use information communication tools with awareness and to understand future developments of computer science. At the end of the course the student will be able to encode and execute some simple algorithms for the solution of problems related to numbers, texts and communication matters.
