Purpose and description of the content of education:
The exercises will help student to understand computer programming and advantages from developing their own programs focused on solving particular problem which are not possible or vary hard to solve without advanced and expensive software. Practice also will help student to optimize their methods at solving complicated scientific problem not only in geoscience but with all sciences where data processing is often required. After articipating in this module Student should be able call himself programmer at least on the medium level.
List of modules that must be completed before starting this module (if necessary): not applicable
Learning outcome of the module Codes of the learning outcomes of the programme to which the learning outcome of the module is related [level of competence: scale 1-5]
the major educational outcome of this computer laboratory is implementation of programing skills by exercise basic procedural programming and also object oriented programming methods. High level programming language will be used for data analysis and visualization useful not only in geosciences but in wider spectrum of scientific problems [W2-GF-S2-242 _1]

students are able to develop simple script useful with data preprocessing for geoscience data analysis. Students are familiar with Machine Learning (ML) in neural network (NN) with open source programming libraries like Keras and TensorFlow Toolkits in Python programing language. Students are familiar with the different types of data used in geosciences. After course students will be able to develop computer applications dedicated to solve complex calculations. . Students understand and uses general English terminology associated with the computer application programming processes. Student will be able use free software to develop their scripts and programs on any operating system [W2-GF-S2-242 _2]
