Programming for Data Science A.Y. 2019/20

This is an introductory course to computer programming and related mathematical/logic background for students without a Bachelor in Computer Science or in Computer Engineering. The objective is to smoothly introduce the student to the programming concepts and tools needed for typical data processing and data analysis tasks. The course consists of lectures and practice in computer labs.

Starting from this year, the course is ANNUAL: so, classes will start in September and finish in May. Hence, the first exam date for students attending the course this year for the first time will be at the end of May.

Software

  • Python programming: Anaconda distribution of Python 3. Computers at lab rooms include it both on Linux and Windows OS.
  • C programming (Linux): either gedit (or equivalent text editor) and gcc. If you do not have gcc on your machine, check next item. Gedit and gcc are available on computers at lab room (Linux only).
  • C programming (Windows) Either DevC++ (already installed on LabMachines) or install CygWin (not on lab machines – on your PC) or install a Virtual Machine (such us VirtualBox) running any Linux distribution.
  • Editor for C files on Windows Either use the DevC++ editor, or use Notepad++ .
  • Unix Shell Either use Linux on lab machines, or install CygWin (on your PC).
  • Python/C online including visualization of memory state PythonTutor.
  • Jupyter Notebooks shown during theory classes GitHub

Preliminary program and calendar

Exams (rules valid also for COVID-19 emergency)

Exams is made out of two parts:

  1. Written part: solve programming exercises in both Python and C (45 minutes). If sufficient, this will give you access to the Oral part of the exam.
  2. Oral part: discussion on both the Written part and on ALL of the topics covered during the course.

Registration to exams is mandatory: register here

Virtual room for the Written part is the same as the one used for classes. Always check here for specific information on specific sessions.

IMPORTANT: To be able to solve the C exercises during the exam, you need to use either the Linux partition or DevC++ installed in the Windows partition of the computers' lab. Please, read carefully the instructions in the Software section above.
