| Contents | Fundamentals of computer architectures and programming.Object orienting programming. Elements of Java programming. |
| Reference texts | Book: E. Di Giacomo, W. Didimo, "Fondamenti di Informatica in Java", Ed. Maggioli. Slides: Additional PDF documentation written by the teacher. |
| Educational objectives | At the end of the course, the students should have acquired: (i) Knowledge on basic concepts on computer architecture, operating systems, and information binary encoding. (ii) Knowledge of the principles and of the basic elements of object-oriented programming. (iii) Ability in designing and writing simple Java programs, correctly using the principles of the object-oriented paradigm. |
| Prerequisites | Students should have basic logic-math skills, acquired in the mathematics courses of high-school. |
| Teaching methods | The course consists of two main kinds of lessions: (i) Lessons in the classroom (80% of total time): consists of lessons in the classroom. In each lesson the teacher illustrates new theoretical concepts, by projecting pre-defined slides, and executes practical exercises. (ii) Practical exercises in the lab (20% of total time): held in the computer science laboratory; they are devoted to the design and implementation of programs, under the supervision of the teacher. |

| Learning verification modality | The final mark is obtained summing the marks of 4 partial exams (30 minutes each) on Linear Systems, Matrices, Homomorphisms, Affine and Euclidean Geometry and a final exam which consists of 5 exercises and a theoretical exercise. Each of the 4 partial exams can be repeated once per week and only the best score for each type is considered. Each of the partial exams gives between 0 and 10 points, the final exam from 0 to 60. Also, at most five extra points are given to the students for their active participation. Before the final exam the student must pass a test consisting of 10 questions about definitions and stametents of theorems. The student must answer correctly at 8 questions at least in 20 minutes and the questions will be taken from an online database of roughly 70 questions availlable in advance for the students. The final mark is the scaled between 0 and 30. |
