Objectives

At the end of the course, the students will be introduced to some of the main methodologies and tools for the automatic solution of computational problems. Additionally, the students will be able to: develop computer programs to solve simple computational problems; design and implement simple databases, according to the relational model; develop spreadsheets for conducting non-trivial data-processing and data-representation.

Contents
