Graduates of this course should have gained basic knowledge and practical skills regarding programming, especially for applications towards physics problems

Basic knowledge and practical skills of programming C. Programming and applications designed specifically towards physics problems and methods. Linux 101. Common programming techniques and style in natural sciences.

The course is held in a practical fashion with groups < 25 participants. In addition there is an accompanying lecture "706161 VO Lecture supplement PR2 Programming for physicists", which is recommended for all participants of this course to demonstrate the basics and fortify the understanding.

Please note that a practical course can consist of only one evaluation. In case of failure this course has to be redone completely in the next year.

This is a practical course with mandatory attendance. In case of a non-attendance in the first week  we require a statement according to the university bylaws (§24 Abs. 4). Otherwise the slot will be given away to other students.

During the course there will be a number of graded exercises combined with live demonstrations to assess the work of the students.

As this is the first practical course in the curriculum, please note that preparation before each session is mandatory and can be evaluated. Preparation is mostly possible with the provided materials from the accompanying lecture (available in OLAT), but also requires some self-learning and sometimes independent research! This will then be announced giving sufficient time.

Will be discussed in the first lesson.

This course makes use of two services provided by the ZID that have to be activated online before the course starts.

1. Linux: Follow the instructions under http://orawww.uibk.ac.at/public_prod/owa/uvw$web$10.p001. The activation is usually done within the next 24 hours. Please active your account therefore at last the day before the first course date.

2. Gitlab: Follow the instructions under git.uibk.ac.at. The activation usually takes a few minutes.
