Esitietovaatimukset

The course is cross-disciplinary, and most of the concepts will be introduced from the basic level. Nevertheless, some basic knowledge in software programming is helpful. We recommend, but not require, Matlab courses, Python programming, C, or C++ to understand basic concepts of conditional statements, loops and use of variables. In the course only simple programming will be required to show how control logic can be implemented, so any basic course in programming is enough. Basic Unix/Linux system knowledge is also beneficial as Linux will be used in some exercises.
