Language
French
- Teacher Verlaine Bertrand
Thanks to this course, students will be able to:
- understand and manipulate the basic mechanisms of information systems
- model computational problems
- implement computational problems in a spreadsheet program such as Excel
- create and critique graphical illustrations
The course is divided into four parts:
Part I - Information systems: components and typology
Main objective: to have a basic computer culture
Part II - Calculation models: Analysis, modelling and implementation
Main aim: to be able to model and use spreadsheets to solve calculation problems
Part III - Creating graphical illustrations with a spreadsheet program
Main aim: to be able to create and critique graphical illustrations
Part IV - Some important and/or topical themes in computer science
Main aim: to open up your curiosity about current words and themes.
The first part of the course is designed to introduce students to the different functions and components of an information system, emphasising the notion of a system and the central role that information plays in organisations. The second part is dedicated to information processing, through the learning of rigorous methods of analysis, modelling and implementation of computational problems. The third part is devoted to the study of graphical illustrations of quantitative data, while the fourth part deals with various current themes linked to information and communication technologies.
Written exam (theory + modelling) and on computer (Excel).
