Course 2024-2025 a.y.

• Part A: Programming fundamentals in Python;
• Part B: Scientific modules, plotting modules, data analysis modules;
• Part C: Selected Topics and Applications;

• Describe fundamental programming strategies;
• Recognize basic algorithmic patterns;

• Analyze and interpret Python code for data analysis and visualization;

• Design Python code to represent, visualize, and transform data;

• Lectures
• Practical Exercises

• Face-to-face lectures will contain both theoretical and applied parts. During the practical part of the lecture, the instructor will solve, together with the class, some exercises on the concepts discussed in the theory section;
• Exercises consist in programming assignments to be done in class under the supervision of the Instructor and the Teaching Assistants, or at home;

The final grade will consist of:

• 20/31 points from the written exam. The written exam will consist of coding exercises on the course topics. Alternatively, the students can opt for two partial exams, each worth 10/31 points;
• 11/31 points from a group project.

Each evaluation will be considered passed if at least 60% of the total points available are assigned. The grade for any completed assessment will be valid until the end of the academic year.

The textbooks are communicated before the start of the course.

Handouts of each lecture and sample codes are provided.
