The main objective of the course is to provide the students with the methodological and conceptual tools for designing algorithms and implementing them into programs for the automatic solution of problems.
Specific objectives include:
- to introduce computer science as the topic that studies how to automatically solve problems;
- to introduce methodologies for the design of algorithms;
- to introduce concepts, methodologies and fundamental techniques for programming.
At the end of the course students will be able to deal with a programming problem in all its aspects, namely:
- understanding, analyzing, and formalizing the problem
- designing iterative algorithms to solve the problem
- encoding the algorithms in C by using suitable data structures and functions.
