| (改組前)先進国際課程 | A-1 | A-1 Students shall obtain basic and advanced knowledge and skills in mathematics, natural and computer sciences as well as presentation skills to communicate on their knowledge with scholars from various fields. |
The objectives of this class is to make students become familiar with information, and with computers and their way of working:
from the low-level (bits) to the hardware architecture.
Computers are essential part of engineers’ activities and it is important to understand their way of working and how they
process information.
Thus, this course aims at providing the required knowledge to understand the basic principles of information and computers; this lecture will introduce concepts of Information Theory, as well as go through an overview of all aspects of computer architecture and operating systems.
