Module name: Computer Programming
Module code: W4-FZ-BP-S2-1-25-01
Programme code: W4-S2FZA22.2025
Semester: winter semester 2025/2026
Language of instruction: English
Form of verification: course work
ECTS credits: 7
Purpose and description of the content of education:
The course's primary goal is to prepare students to solve with the usage of computer physics problems. The course should prepare students to use selected programming languages on the semi-advanced level, and apply numerical methods and techniques in the scientific work. The course will consist of introductory lectures and laboratory classes. The lecturer will introduce programming techniques and numerical methods. During laboratory classes, student will solve physics problems related to the scope of the master thesis.
