About this course

Introduction to elementary programming for problem solving. We will use computers and modern software for learning elementary programming by considering numerical solutions of mathematical problems associated with the introductory mathematics courses at Realtek and Handelshøyskolen.

The programming language Julia is used for implementation and computations.

Learning outcome

Basic programming skills and understanding of basic principles of programming-based problem solving related to the basic mathematical subjects given at Realtek and the Handelshøyskolen.

  • Learning activities

    Lectures and practice groups with group work and practical problem solving with programming.

  • Teaching support

    Teaching assistants provide assistance during the computer labs.

  • Syllabus

    Information about relevant literature is given in relation to the start of the course in the course room on Canvas.

  • Prerequisites

    Experience in using computers in daily life.

    One written exam Karakterregel: Letter grades Hjelpemiddel: C1 All types of calculators, other aids as specified

  • About use of AI

    Exam: K1 - No use of AI

    Assignment: K2 - Specified use of AI

    The use of AI technology to support the learning process in the course is recommended.

    The use of AI must comply with the guidelines for the use of artificial intelligence (AI) at NMBU.

    Descriptions of AI-category codes.

  • Examiner scheme

    The external and internal examiner jointly prepare the exam questions and the correction manual. The external examiner reviews the internal examiner's examination results by correcting a random sample of candidates exams as a calibration according to the Department's guidelines for examination markings.

  • Mandatory activity

    Mandatory exercises (hand-ins). Requirements for approval of mandatory activity will be announced at the beginning of the term.

  • Notes

    The course is planned to be reworked in connection with next year's subject revision, and will run for the last time in its current form.

  • Teaching hours

    • Lectures: 2 hours per week for 13 weeks.
    • Computer labs: 2 hours per week for 13 weeks.

  • Admission requirements

    Minimum requirements for entrance to higher education in Norway (generell studiekompetanse)
