Write programs with structuring elements (including procedures, subroutines, functions, ...) and understanding the programming logic and respecting the syntax.
Implement simple algorithms in a compiled programming language based on some basic algorithms for a physicist (numerical integration, root search, data adjustment, random numbers).
Elements of numerical analysis (Errors, complexity) to become aware of the contributions and limits of digitalization
The course propose an introduction at the programming context (structure of a computer, operating systems, ...). The student get familiar with a compiled language (FORTRAN) and addresses the structure of complexe programming (subroutine, function, structure, tables, files, ...). The student will be brought to implement numerical solution usefull for a physicist.
