Summary

 

Programming for geoscientists (Yr 2) - ESE-UG3.08

Role

Course Leader

Numerical methods 1 - ESE-UG3.09

Role

Course Leader

Programming for Geoscientists (Yr 1) - ESE-UG2.18

Aims

The course will teach the fundamentals of computer programming: variables; conditional statements; loops; execution through the Python language. Students will develop knowledge of basic algorithms and their implementation, e.g.: data processing; curve fitting and plotting; sequences and differential equations; Monte Carlo.

Skills developed will include problem solving and algorithm development: starting with a natural language description of a problem and breaking it down to a discrete set of tasks to reach a solution.

Role

Course Leader

Graphics and Statistics for Geoscientists (Yr 1) - ESE-UG2.19

Aims

To give students computing skills in data manipulation, graphics and literature searching that will facilitate their studies and provide transferable skills usable after their degree.
