20810295 - Fondamenti di programmazione e Data Analytics

The aim of the course is to provide students with the methodological and conceptual tools for the design of algorithms and the implementation of programs for the automatic solution of problems.
Specific goals are the introduction of
- information technology as a discipline for the automatic solution of problems;
- tools and methodologies for the design of algorithms;
- fundamental concepts, methodologies and techniques of programming;
- concepts and methods for the use of programs for data analytics problems
At the end of the course, students will be able to tackle a programming problem in all its parts, namely:
- understand, analyze and formalize the problem
- designing a solution algorithm using iterative techniques
- implement the algorithm in a programming language using suitable data structures
and functions.
- address complex data analytics problems using appropriate libraries
