Course content
The course consists of two parts: Introduction to procedure-oriented programming in Python (2/3) and Numerics (1/3). The Python skills will be generally applicable to many different problems, but as soon as the level is high enough, most of the examples will be directed towards problem-solving in the Numerics domain. Procedure-oriented programming: - Variables and data types. - Input and output. - Control structures: Sequence, conditional program flow and repetitions. - Structuring and modularisation of programs; functions and modules. - Data structures: Lists, tables, text strings, sets, tuples and dictionaries. - Persistent storage of data, file input and output, and exceptions. - Recursion. - Python as a programming environment. - Computation of N-dimensional matrixes - Plot of functions. Numerics: - Numeric Integration of Functions: Trapezoidal rule, Simpson's rule, Adaptive Simpson's rule - Newton's method for finding zeros of a real-valued function - Gaussian elimination for solving systems of linear equations - Numerical solution of ordinary differential equations - Fixed-point iteration
Learning outcome
Knowledge: By the end of the course, the candidate can - explain central concepts and mechanisms of procedural programming - derive the result of small programs and functions - explain number representation, precision of calculations, and the workings of central numerical methods
Skills: By the end of the course, the candidate can - use relevant tools for editing and running Python code - use viable data structures, control structures and decomposition in functions and modules to make well-structured, working code - apply some central numerical methods to solve calculation problems, and import and use numerical library functions in Python - identify causes for errors and lack of precision in programs, and correct the errors
Learning methods and activities

Further on evaluation
The exam will only be given in English; students can answer in Norwegian.
The minimum requirement to be eligible to take the exam is passing the assignments.
Resit exam in August. The re-sit exam may be changed to an oral exam.
Recommended previous knowledge
Mathematics similar required to attend the two year civil engineering master program.
