Wed 2	Program Design: How Computers Handle Numbers Finished 09:30 - 13:00 Room AL.02 (CMS, Wilberforce Road) This course is part of the Scientific Computing series. This could be called "Computer Arithmetic Uncovered". It will describe how computers store and process integers and floating point numbers, and also the exceptions that might arise and what they mean. The intent is to explain how modern computers handle numbers, and how to get reliable answers for a reasonable amount of effort.

Fri 30	Programming Concepts: Introduction for Absolute Beginners (1 of 2) Finished 14:15 - 17:00 UIS Online Microsoft Teams 1 This course is part of the Scientific Computing series. This course is aimed at those new to programming, or who have never been formally taught the principles and basic concepts of programming. It provides an introduction to the basic concepts common to most high level languages (including Python, Java, Fortran, C, C++, Visual Basic). The aim of the course is to equip attendees with the background knowledge and confidence necessary to tackle many on-line and printed programming tutorials. It may also help attendees in deciding which programming language is suitable for their programming task. Knowledge of the concepts presented in this course is a pre-requisite for many of the other courses in the Scientific Computing series of courses (although not for the "Python for Absolute Beginners" course).
