Essential Computer Science for Global LeadersⅠ to begin on April 13, 2016

Posted on 2016/04/11

“Essential Computer Science for Global Leaders I” will begin on April 13. This is a compulsory lecture for students who are in “Minor Course of Science and Technology for Global Leaders”. But all master’s & doctoral students can take it if you have interest. The lecture will be conducted in English.

Lecture Theme & Objective

Prof. BasharEssential fundamental concepts of computer science and their applications will be discussed. Some key topics are from data storage, data manipulation, algorithms and programming languages, graph theory, networking and Internet. Students will also investigate some real-world problems through earned knowledge.

Message to Students

Although e-Computer Science-1 is designed as an interdisciplinary course, students from both fundamental and applied sciences will be benefited. However, regular attendance is important to grasp key concepts of this course. All references are not mandatory. Follow lectures in relaxed mode.
N.B. Contents or the extent of the topics may be refined subject to necessity.
