Catalogue data
| Abstract | Computer Science II lays the foundation for understanding, designing, and analyzing algorithms and data structures. It also provides an overview of various programming concepts, such as functional programming and static and dynamically typed programming languages. |
| Learning objective | Understanding of the design and analysis of basic algorithms and data structures, working with multidimensional data using Python libraries, and overview of various programming concepts. |
| Content | Introduction of Python: from C++ to Python, advanced concepts and integrated data structures in Python; analyzing data, manipulating data with Numpy and visualizing with Matplotlib; linear regression, classification and (k-Means) clustering. Basic algorithms and data structures, design patterns for algorithms (induction, divide and conquer, dynamic programming), classical algorithmic problems (searching and sorting), data structures (search trees, heaps, union-find). Exercises are performed in the online IDE and exercise management system Code-Expert. |

| In examination block for | Bachelor's Degree Programme in Mechanical Engineering 2022; Version 07.11.2024 (First Year Examination Block B) |
| ECTS credits | 4 credits |
| Examiners | R. Sasse, C. Cotrini Jimenez |
| Type | session examination |
| Language of examination | German |
| Repetition | The performance assessment is offered every session. Repetition possible without re-enrolling for the course unit. |
| Admission requirement | Durch Bearbeitung der wöchentlichen Übungsserien kann ein Bonus von maximal 0.25 Notenpunkten erarbeitet werden, der an die Prüfung mitgenommen wird. Der Bonus ist proportional zur erreichten Punktzahl von speziell markierten Bonus-Aufgaben, wobei volle Punktzahl einem Bonus von 0.25 entspricht. Die Zulassung zu speziell markierten Bonusaufgaben kann von der erfolgreichen Absolvierung anderer Übungsaufgaben abhängen. Der erreichte Notenbonus verfällt, sobald die Vorlesung neu gelesen wird. |
| Mode of examination | written 120 minutes |
| Additional information on mode of examination | Die Prüfung kann am Computer stattfinden. |
| Written aids | Sie dürfen maximal 4 A4-Blätter mit in die Prüfung nehmen. Inhaltliche und formale Anforderungen (Text, Bilder, ein-/doppelseitig, Ränder, Schriftgrösse, etc.) bestehen nicht. Elektronische Geräte bzw. digitale Unterlagen sind nicht erlaubt. You may take up to 4 A4 sheets into the exam. There are no constraints regarding content and layout (text, images, single/double page, margins, font size, etc.). Electronic devices and digital documents are not allowed. |
| Digital exam | The exam takes place on devices provided by ETH Zurich. |
| Distance examination | It is not possible to take a distance examination. |
| If the course unit is part of an examination block, the credits are allocated for the successful completion of the whole block. This information can be updated until the beginning of the semester; information on the examination timetable is binding. | |
