AbstractIntroduction to basic problem solving methods, algorithms, and data structures. Topics: divide and conquer, recursion, sorting algorithms, backtracking, game tree search, data structures (lists, stacks, queues, binary trees), discrete simulation, concurrency. In the assignments and exercises, the programming language Java is used.
ObjectiveIntroduction to the general methods of computer science for electrical engineers. Also provides basic skills for advanced exercises and projects later in the electrical engineering program.
ContentPart II of the lecture concentrates on the most common problem solving skills, algorithms, and data structures. It also teaches fundamental concepts and mechanisms of structured programming. Furthermore, working with formal systems, the necessity of abstraction, and the importance of modeling in computer science will be motivated. The emphasis of the lecture is on practical concepts of computer science. Specific topics are: complexity of algorithms, divide and conquer, recursion, algorithms for sorting, backtracking, game tree search, data structures (lists, stacks, queues, binary trees), discrete simulation, and concurrency. For the assignments and exercises, the programming language Java is used. Here, also modularization, abstraction, encapsulation, and object orientation will be considered. In the practice groups, students program an automatic player for the game "Reversi"; at the end of the semester a tournament will take place.

Additional information on mode of examinationFür den Teil Informatik I werden im Semester zwei freiwillige Programmierübungen offeriert, welche korrigiert und bewertet werden. Die dabei erzielten Punkte werden in die spätere Prüfungsklausur dieses Teiles als Bonus mitgenommen. Maximal erreichbarer Bonus entspricht 1/4 Note. Dieser Bonus kann nicht in spätere Repetitionsklausuren mitgenommen werden.
Informatik I (60 Min) und Informatik II (60 Min) werden separat geprüft.
