Learning outcomes:
After successfully completing this module, students will be able to formulate and analyze algorithms for solving simple problems. They will understand how numbers and characters are represented in a computer. They will be capable of converting between and computing in the underlying numeral systems. Students will be familiar with the basic concepts and rules of predictive logic and can apply them to determine the equivalence of two expressions. On the basis of the machine model Random Access Machine (RAM), students will learn the basic operations of a computer. They will be able to implement simple programs with the RAM commands, prove their correctness and determine their time and space complexity. Students will become familiar with basic algorithms (e. g. for searching and sorting) and will be able to combine them like building blocks to solve more complex problems. Based on these fundamental algorithms, students will be able to understand important solution strategies (e. g. divide and conquer algorithm, recursion and dynamic programming). Students will also learn about elementary data structures (e. g. linked lists and binary heaps) and will be able to use them appropriately depending on the situation.
