About this course

Introduction to elementary programming for problem solving. We will use computers and modern software for learning elementary programming by considering numerical solutions of mathematical problems associated with the introductory mathematics courses at Realtek and Handelshøyskolen.

The programming language Julia is used for implementation and computations.
