Programming Fundamentals

Software Engineering: Transform

Front-End Web Development: Transform

This subject was previously known as Functional and Reactive Programming.A programming language gives us a way of modelling and expressing a computer program. As programs tackle more complex tasks using big, fast, and distributed flows of data, the need for more powerful ways to think about and express our programs will only increase.  This subject introduces you to the paradigms (the particular styles or features) behind advanced programming languages used by many of the world’s leading software companies.  Taught predominantly using Scala, a mixed-paradigm language that will familiarise you with many concepts, the subject helps you to develop knowledge and technical skills with broad practical applications.  You will learn about functional programming, different type systems, and techniques for asynchronous, streaming and reactive programming. These techniques are useful across a wide spectrum – from making small problems simple, to modern event-based web systems, to “fast data” systems that process large flows of asynchronous data.

Programming Paradigms

Object-oriented programming is one of the most widely used programming paradigms. It is based around the concept of modularisation of code, using &#39;classes&#39; and their instances, known also as &#39;objects&#39; and their interactions. Objects contain both data, called attributes, and behaviours, represented by methods. This subject introduces you to object-oriented design and analysis using Java, an object-oriented programing language. You will gain invaluable experience building functional, robust, and flexible computer programs, and learn the importance of building reusable and extendable code. This unit will cover topics including classes and objects, encapsulation, decoupling and delegation, inheritance, polymorphism, interfaces and abstraction. You will experience the design process, iteratively revising your code, improving it as you learn new concepts. The subject culminates in the development of a simple graphical user interface. With skills in object-oriented programming, you will be industry-ready and equipped to generate clean and efficient code with 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 covers a range of important algorithms and data structures. Data structures for implementing containers are covered and include linear structures, tree structures and hash tables. Algorithms for insertion and deletion of elements, and algorithms for searching and sorting on these structures are covered where appropriate. Graphs and graph algorithms are also covered. Students will learn the construction and workings of the data structures and algorithms covered. They will learn to analyse the effectiveness of each data structure and algorithm for specific problems and categories of problems. Students will also implement in programs a wide range of the structures and algorithms covered.
