Computer Science II This is the English Version; there is also a French Version

Computer Science II for Life Scientists


This is not a programming course, but a course where computer science is presented as a science, i.e., the science of computing and information. In this course we will focus on four questions: What happens in a computer? What is computation? What is information? What is intelligence? During the discussion of these questions we will touch on different disciplines of computer science such as algorithmics, processor architecture, logic systems, compilation, information theory, artificial intelligence.

If final exam better than test: note = 0.75*examen + 0.25*miniprojet
