Outline syllabus

This is an indicative module outline only to give an indication of the sort of topics that may be covered. Actual sessions held may differ.

The student should attend the Computational Techniques seminar series of 7 hours in term 1. Topics typically include: best practices in sustainable software development, an introduction to scripting, interactive web content and high-performance computing.
Assessment will be based on a project designed individually with the course conveners. The ultimate submission will take the form of a 2-5 page document describing the project and the demonstration of a working example of the code and short summaries of selected four seminars.

Learning outcomes

By the end of the module, students should be able to:

• By the end of the module the student will have been exposed to a wide variety of techniques by following the computational Techniques seminar series run by the Math-Sysy CDT
• The student will be able to draw on their existing knowledge of programming as well as make use of the wealth of web-based resources on browser or mobile application programming
• The student will have experience of planning and executing a project of writing a mobile application
• Understand amd summarise the essentail features of the work of others and evaluate its signifance.
• Demosnstrate an ability to present technical material verbally, including under questioning.
