Scientific Programming is a programming course that started September 2008. It is worth 7.5 credits, given in the first quester (LP1) and is tailored for the Systems, Control and Robotics program. The aim is to ensure that everyone can use MATLAB, which will be used in many advanced courses, as well as program in C/C++.

The course consists of 16 lectures and 3 individual projects. The idea is that the lectures and the voluntary lab sessions will introduce the tools necessary to solve the projects. The three projects each cover one part of the course, MATLAB, C and C++.

The course will start with MATLAB as it is needed in other courses, move on to C and finish with C++. The aim is not to make programming wizards out of everyone, but rather make sure that everyone masters MATLAB and has basic knowledge in C/C++. Most people will already have some or even plenty of programming experience and for these students the course will primarily act as a "brush up" on programming.

The examination of this course is through projects that should be solved individually the grade is either Pass or Fail.
