Object-oriented programming is one of several popular programming paradigms in use today. It is based around the concept of &#39;classes&#39; and their instances, known also as &#39;objects&#39; and their interactions. Objects contain both data, called attributes, and code, known as methods. This subject introduces you to techniques for computer program development using Java, an object-oriented programming language. You will explore topics that cover the breadth of this coding style, building a well-rounded understanding of its underlying concepts. These include classes, objects, encapsulation, inheritance, polymorphism, single and multidimensional arrays, file input/output, decision structures and loops. You will also examine programming language features for parameter passing, exception handling, and simple user interface development. With skills in object-oriented programming, you will be equipped to generate clean and efficient code with diverse practical applications.

The technology-driven worlds of science and engineering are increasingly integrated with computer science and its applications. Having high-level quantitative skills and the ability to keep pace with new developments in programming can help you to stand out in your career.  This subject introduces you to fundamental programming concepts, including conditional branching, looping and recursion, and you will learn to program in a high-level programming language.  Studying the algorithms used for common tasks in numerical analysis, you will explore solving linear equations, interpolation, root finding, curve fitting, numerical integration, random numbers and Monte Carlo methods, and numerical solutions to ordinary differential equations.  Throughout the subject, hands-on quantitative problems relevant to the sciences and engineering will allow you to hone your problem-solving skills.

Computational Mathematics

This subject was previously known as “Software Architecture: Design and Implementation”
This subject provides students with an advanced understanding of software development with an emphasis on architecture and design, and how this relates to programming and implementation. Students will explore advanced object oriented concepts and the relationship between design in Unified Modelling Language (UML) and its expression in code and how this is supported by modelling tools and development platforms; parallelism using multi-threading, and first principles client server architecture using socket communications and basic protocols. Students will also explore common object oriented design patterns and their application in domain-specific contexts as well as user interface programming.
The subject builds upon existing programming knowledge using Java as the implementation platform, and assumes students already have a basic understanding of Java programming and basic object oriented concepts.

Explore object orientated concepts for designing software architecture. Learn how UML talks in code backed by multi-threading and modelling tools. Build on your prior knowledge, and use interface programming with Java as the implementation platform.
