and the LAB exercises
  • Another part of the exam will be about logical functions and how they can be implemented with simple logic gates.
To prepare please practice on the site of Christian Gottschall:
overview , practice here).
  • Another part of the exam will be based on Logic circuits by D.Eck
Logic circuits

    • group size is 1-3 persons
    • presentation time is min. 10 minutes, max. 15 minutes (maybe 20).
    • topics can be selected from materials on this page that are prefixed with "Additionally:" or you can come up with your own, but then you should agree on it in advance with me
    • choose a topic that you understand; you should be able to answer some questions related to the presentation
    • do not read only, but present


  • Valuable comments during lectures will also be rewarded

Course goals

  • Give a compact overview of informatics as a whole.
  • Give a historical overview of IT theory, technology and business development.
  • Introduce future courses for further studies.

NB! the course DOES NOT TEACH elementary computer usage skills. Neither does it teach programming, although it gives a gentle introduction to programming.

Summary

Historical and conceptual overview of informatics as a domain of business, science and engineering. Early history of the domain, scientific and technical development at the beginning of the last century, the rapid development during the mid-century and the even faster paved changes in the scientific-, business and technological aspects during the last decades.

Main programming paradigms (imperative, logical, functional, object-oriented) as well as paradigms in system architecture (mainframes, personal computers, client-server systems, distributed and multi-layer systems).

The birth and disappearance of technologies, companies; trends, principles, specific events.

Lecture plan and materials
