| Course contents : | The course is a short introduction to computer science aimed at students in life science. The history and probable future of computer technology is presented. Some basic concepts of programming are introduced and classical programs (word processing, spreadsheet, data analysis, browser, etc...) are used to demonstrate how a computer could help a scientist to manage his data. Students are explained how to exchange and present information on the Internet. The working of a computer and its peripherals is evoked and practical information about interfacing a computer with laboratory instruments is given. | ||
