Computer science is now a mature discipline, with a well defined curriculum, for example from the ACM/IEEE joint task force, or the UK's Quality Assurance Agency. Any student of computer science should be familiar with a range of topics such as computability, algorithms, computational complexity, computer design, programming language design, programming methodology, data structures, information retrieval, parallel and distributed computing, computer networks, cyber security and artificial intelligence. In addition, computing students should be aware of the effects their field has had, and will continue to have, on individuals, organisations, and society. This module gives an opportunity to review the breadth of computer science, to focus on some key ideas, and to reflect on its wider impact.

Syllabus

• Algorithms and Computational Complexity

• Models of computation, computability and decidability

• Design of computers and operating systems

Quiz Yourself

The best way to study is always by quizzing yourself. You’ll learn far more from quizzing yourself than from re-reading or reviewing your notes.

Who this course is for:

• Students interested in learning Fundamental Concepts in Computer science And Programming.

• Beginners who have never programmed before .

• Programmers interested in learning all fundamental concepts in computer science and programming.

• All computer professionals who want to be updated on fundamentals of computer science and programming.
