Computing Science

This webclass deals with important aspects of today’s world such as storing data, the basic structure of a computer and algorithms.

Web class

In this web class we give an introduction into computing science. We discuss challenges that are important in this digital world: How do I save large files in a compact way? How do I encrypt my data? And how easily is encryption cracked? What can be computed and what not? Can we actually compute everything that is theoretically computable before the last stars in the galaxy fade out? Besides theory and exercises on these topics we show you on a simulated computer what happens inside this machine. You will also write simple programs. Programming experience is not required.
