Informatics 1: Practical Computing

Informatics 1 introduces students to computational methods for analysing and visualising structured data.

The subject covers fundamental programming constructs, algorithms and data structures; information visualisation; web-centric computing; and an overview of the field of computing.

Workshops and team projects will give students practical experience in solving data-rich problems involving computers, people and the Web. The problems will be drawn from a diverse range of topics, e.g. climate change, finance, social networks, and language analysis.
