Metodologia docent

The practical work will consist on computer practices where the student will use programs provided by the lecturer, public domain programs -appropriately documented- or programs that will be developed by the student.

Mètode d'avaluació

The evaluation of the course will be based on the work developed by the students in the practical part (problems).
