Abstract | Introduction to UNIX, introduction to C++ programming, data representation and processing, computational errors, algorithms and scaling, sorting and searching, numerical algorithms, algorithmic strategies, computer simulation, computer architecture, operating systems, programming languages, computer networks, databases, representation of chemical structures, molecular simulation. |
Learning objective | Acquire a starting package concerning the computational aspects of natural sciences; discuss fundamentals of computer architecture, languages, algorithms and programming with an eye to their application in the area of chemistry, biology and material science. |
Content | Lecture: Introduction to UNIX, introduction to C++ programming, data representation and processing, computational errors, algorithms and scaling, sorting and searching, numerical algorithms, algorithmic strategies, computer simulation, computer architecture, operating systems, programming languages, computer networks, databases, representation of chemical structures, molecular simulation; Exercises: Make students familiar with the UNIX operating system, C++ programming techniques, simple algorithms and computational applications in chemistry by means of exercise series at the computer. |
Lecture notes | Script booklet (copies of powerpoint slides, in English), distributed at first or second lecture. |
Literature | See: www.csms.ethz.ch/education/InfoI |
Prerequisites / Notice | Since the exercises on the computer do convey and test essentially different skills than those being conveyed during the lectures and tested at the written exam, the results of the exercises are taken into account when evaluating the results of the exam (compulsory performance component, 12% of the exam mark; in case of repetition of the exam, the exercise marks from a previous semester can be kept).

Additional information on mode of examination | Da die Uebungen am Rechner wesentlich andere Faehigkeiten vermitteln und pruefen als die Vorlesung und schriftliche Pruefung, werden die Ergebnisse der absolvierten Uebungen bei der Beurteilung des Pruefungsergebnisses einfliessen (obligatorisches Leistungselement, 12% der Pruefungsnote; bei einer Klausurwiederholung duerfen die Uebungsnoten von einem vorherigen Semester uebernommen werden). |
Written aids | Keine Hilfsmittel. Ausnahme: Wörterbücher für Fremdsprachige. Prüfungsangabe auf Deutsch sowie auf Englisch vorhanden. |
If the course unit is part of an examination block, the credits are allocated for the successful completion of the whole block. This information can be updated until the beginning of the semester; information on the examination timetable is binding. |
