Lecture: Computer Science for Life Scientists @ B-IT

Description

Please subscribe to our mailing list for important information on the lecture and exercises!

An introductory video for Chapter 8 is now available!

This lecture will teach you Computer Science knowledge and skills that are required to successfully work within the area of Life Science Informatics. In particular, it addresses

• Imperative programming (with exercises in Python)
• Object-oriented programming (with exercises in Python)
• Algorithm design and analysis
• Data structures
• Graph algorithms
• Numerical algorithms
• Some important insights from theoretical computer science

During the first weeks of the semester, the lecture integrates the bridging course. Our goal is to keep the lecture accessible for people with very different backgrounds, and we are always open to your questions. However, please note that this lecture accounts for a substantial part of your overall workload during the first semester, so plan to spend a considerable amount of time on revising the material and doing the exercises, in particular in case you did not arrive with a strong background in programming and algorithms.
