AbstractStudents learn to apply selected concepts and tools from computer science for working on interdisciplinary projects. The following topics are covered: modeling and simulations, managing data with lists and tables and with relational databases, introduction to programming.
ObjectiveThe students learn to

- choose and apply appropriate tools from computer science,
- process and analyze real-world data from their subject of study,
- handle the complexity of real-world data.
Content1. Modeling and simulations
2. Data management with lists and tables
3. Data management with a relational database
4. Introduction to macro programming
5. Introduction to programming with Python
Lecture notesAll materials for the lecture are available at www.evim.ethz.ch
Prerequisites / NoticeThis course is based on application-oriented learning. The students spend most of their time working through projects with data from natural science and discussing their results with teaching assistants. To learn the computer science basics there are electronic tutorials available.

3 credits2AL. E. Fässler
AbstractThe initial module offers a practical introduction to some basic concepts and techniques for information processing as well as practical applications of them. The programming language are Python and SQL.
ObjectiveStudents learn...

- how to encode a problem into a program, test the program, and correct errors.
- to understand and improve existing code.
- to implement mathematical models as a simulation.
ContentThe following programming concepts are introduced during this module:

1. Variables, data types
2. Condition check, Loops, logics
3. Arrays
4. Functions
5. Matrices
6. Data management (SQL)

In the practical part of the course, students work on small programming projects with a context from natural sciences. Electronic tutorials are available as preparation.
Prerequisites / NoticeNo prior knowledge is required for this course. It is based on application-oriented learning. The students spend most of their time working through programming projects and discussing their results with teaching assistants. To learn the programming basics there are electronic tutorials available.
