Learning outcomes |
With this curricular unit, it is intended that the student obtain computational tools that will assist him in the accomplishment of practical activities (experimental and laboratory). At the end of this curricular unit the student should be able to:
a) perform simple mathematical operations with scalars, vectors or matrices;
b) solve simple problems by exploring the symbolic and graphical capabilities of the computer;
c) programming small routines;
d) perform data analysis, treatment and visualization routines;
e) plan experimental activities in a research logic.

Teaching Methodologies and Assessment Criteria |
The curricular unit works with practical classes in a laboratory equipped with computers. The curricular unit will be taught in an interactive way and with the student following in real time the procedures presented by the teacher. In addition, the student is encouraged to participate in classes, to interact with the teacher and with colleagues, and to work autonomously, in the form of exercises, formulation and problem-solving. Continuous assessment will be carried out through four assignments to be completed after each of the main points of the program and a test at the end of the semester. The student may also take a final exam worth 20 points.
