Teaching Methodologies and Assessment Criteria	Being a laboratory course, students are intended to experiment with computational techniques to achieve the objectives. Classes will be essentially computational practice guided by the instructor. Evaluation method: - List of Problems to be solved after classes (60%); - One individual written assessment (40%). There is attendance control: minimum of 75%.
Language	Portuguese. Tutorial support is available in English.
