Teaching and Learning Methods Lectures: Is done a detailed
exposition of the various themes of the syllabus with analysis of
examples. The slides presented in these lessons will be provided to
students. Problem-solving classes: Will be solved exercises on the
topics already covered in lecture. Students will also be challenged
to solve problems that may or may not have direct application in
their field of study, under the guidance of teachers, which will
encourage discussion of the used methodologies and on the results
achieved. Tutorials: a homework is proposed to students that should
be held during the week and delivered at the following tutorial.
The homework is discussed in these classes and the solution is
achieved.
Assessment 1) During the academic activities Periodic component:
three tests, one for chapter. To the calculus of the final grade,
only the i tests (with i = 1, 2, 3) whose NP_i classification has
been equal or greater than 8 values (scale 0 to 20) are considered.
Continuous component: evaluation of homework delivered or done in
tutorial classes. This component is optional and is graded by N_OT,
in a 0 to 20 scale.

consists of three parts, each of which corresponding to a chapter.
The student will perform the complete exam or only the i parts of
the exam (i = 1, 2 or 3) in which obtained a NP_i score below 8
values. The final grade, which we denote by NF, is given by: NF =
max { NF_C, NF_P } where NF_P = (NP_1 + NP_2+ NP_3) / 3 NF_C = 0,9
NF_P + 0,1 N_OT with NP_ i = Classification of part i, with i = 1,
2, 3 and NP_i > or = to 8 values N_OT = Classification of
Tutorials. The student has approval in the course if the final
grade NF is equal or greater than 10 values. Otherwise is
reproved.

has two types of objectives: formative and informative. Given the
informative nature of the course it is intended that students
master the concepts and techniques that are developed throughout
the program and acquire the ability to use them when necessary.
From the standpoint of training, after finishing the course
students should have increased the ability of deductive reasoning
and abstract and disciplined approach of the issues that are
proposed.

Teaching and Learning Methods In lectures we combine the
expository and demonstrative methods with the interrogative and
participative method as a way to encourage students to become more
active agents of their learning. Classes are supported, whenever
appropriate, in computer readable form, which includes the use of
appropriate software to the topics addressed. The
theoretical-practical lessons rely on worksheets prepared in
accordance with the following objectives: i. consolidation and
internalization of theoretical concepts; ii. application of
theoretical knowledge in practice; iii. acquisition of techniques
for solving problems involving the concepts defined theoretically;
iv. developing the skills of deductive reasoning. Thus, the
exercises are of diverse nature, combining theoretical application
questions with practical questions. Questions are either presented
in an open or semi-open form or are multiple choice questions,
according to the objectives of each one. In theoretical-practical
classes and tutorials both collaborative and independent work are
used. There will be a constant interaction between teacher and
students, always with the aim of encouraging and helping each
student to establish his personal method of learning.
Assessment The assessment will be made in the final exam.
Students may be exempted by prior assessment. Two partial tests
will be carried out: These tests have weights 50%. Each test
includes, approximately, the matter of three chapters. To exempt
the final exam, students must perform the two tests and obtain an
average rating greater than or equal to 9,5 (with minimum score of
8 in the two tests). To obtain a final grade greater than or equal
to 17 marks, both in frequency and in the final exam, students may
be required to carry out further proof. After the final and the
appeal exams there will be an additional proof for students who
have obtained ratings between 8 and 9,4 or any student who, for
some particular reason, it is considered desirable or necessary to
accomplish it. Students may also request the preparation of this
proof if they wish to improve the exam grade.

exposed. Tutoring classes, where students answer questions about
the proposed exercises.
Assessment The assessment system is by frequência or/and exame (
on the terms of ISE´s Regulation of Assessment), and proceeds as
follows: 1. Continuous Assessment: Continuous assessment will be
done by performing two tests (frequências): 1st test (CF1) includes
the materials of Chapters 1 to 5, 2nd test (CF2) includes the
materials of Chapters 6 and 7. The minimum grade of each, rounded
to the unit, should be equal to or above eight (8) values. The
student's final grade is obtained from the average of two tests
performed.
CF = 0,5 × (CF1 + CF2) The student is approved in continuous
assessment is the final classification, rounded to the unit, equals
or exceeds ten (10) values. 2. Assessment Examination: Examination
will be held at Normal Examination Period, the student getting
approved is rounded to the note is equal to or above 10. If a
student obtains a grade lower than eight (8) values, in any of the
tests (frequências), you can repeat at the Normal Examination
Period, only the part corresponding to that test (frequência). The
final grade in the course will be given by:
CF or CF = CE = 0,5 × (CTi + CEJ) Where: CF final
classification, classification of EC examination; CTi test
(frequência) equal to or above eight (8) values; CEJ classification
of part of the exam corresponding to the test (frequência) with a
score less than eight (8) values. The Exam Appeal season includes
all the chapters (1 to 7). The student is approved the
classification of the examination, rounded to the nearest unit,
equals or exceeds ten (10) values. In any examination of Season
Special, which includes the entire matter (chapters 1 to 7), the
student is approved the classification of the examination, rounded
to the nearest unit, equals or exceeds ten (10) values. 3. Oral
defense of ratings equal to or greater than sixteen (16) values:
Students in the final classification (CF) is equal to or greater
than sixteen (16) values, obtained in any of the types of
evaluation, it is necessary to defend the statement by performing
an oral exam before a jury of at least two teachers. The no-show at
this time of assessment, means staying with the final fifteen (15)
values. For logistical reasons and it is required pre-registration
of students in the written tests with 2 days in advance.

Objectives Computer Sciences have an important role in the
context of science and technology, both in the usage of specific
applications that helps the professional in their activity, as well
as exercising the skills of analysis and reasoning to solve
problems. Given this foreword, this course has the following basic
objectives:
• Learn to use computer applications in a useful way, from a
technical perspective; • Develop techniques to deal with (academic)
problems, planning methodologies for their
resolution and construct their computational representation, in
order for the results to be validated through a critical study.

Assessment The assessment will be conducted through two
evaluations with different weights in the final grade: the first
weights 60% (12 values) and the second 40% (8 values). In both
there is a minimum required grade (3 values in the first
evaluation, 2 values in the second), and the student is approved
and exempted from the final exam, if the scores of the evaluations
are higher than the minimum required grade and the final score is
at least 10 values. The final exam will also be conducted in two
parts with the same rules as the evaluations.
All assessments will be performed on the computer, without
consultation and are subject to prior registration, which will end
at least 48 hours prior to the assessment.

Teaching and Learning Methods Lectures: Is done a detailed
exposition of the various themes of the syllabus with analysis of
examples. The slides presented in these lessons will be provided to
students. Problem-solving classes: Will be solved exercises on the
topics already covered in lecture. Students will also be challenged
to solve problems that may or may not have direct application in
their field of study, under the guidance of teachers, which will
encourage discussion of the used methodologies and on the results
achieved. Tutorials: a homework is proposed to students that should
be held during the week and delivered at the following tutorial.
The homework is discussed in these classes and the solution is
achieved.
Assessment 1) During the academic activities Periodic component:
three tests, one for chapter. To the calculus of the final grade,
only the i tests (with i = 1, 2, 3) whose NP_i classification has
been equal or greater than 8 values (scale 0 to 20) are considered.
Continuous component: evaluation of homework delivered or done in
tutorial classes. This component is optional and is graded by N_OT,
in a 0 to 20 scale.
2) Exam: normal examination or examination of appeal. The exam
consists of three parts, each of which corresponding to a chapter.
The student will perform the complete exam or only the i parts of
the exam (i = 1, 2 or 3) in which obtained a NP_i score below 8
values. The final grade, which we denote by NF, is given by: NF =
max { NF_C, NF_P } where

Objectives It is a fundamental objective of this course to
initiate students in modeling and in computational representation
of different kind of problems. The increasing importance of those
areas in the technology and in engineering, largely supported by
the advances registered in the computational area, justify this
concern. This curriculum presents two modules that are crucial in
order to reach that goal. They are: scientific computing and graph
theory. They will be taught, both, using a computational approach.
The concepts introduced and the examples used are specially
selected to allow an easy adaptation to the subject and to
encourage students to explore new situations, exercising their
skills of analysis, synthesis and abstraction. At the same time the
students has the opportunity to acquire and / or strength their
knowledge and the need to overcome the challenges that are
presented through some specific exercises.
Recommended Previous Knowledge
Contents Introduction to the scientific computing: numerical
representation, introduction to the theory of errors, polynomial
interpolation, solving nonlinear equations, introduction to
numerical uni and multidimensional optimization. Introduction to
graph theory: some basic insights and definitions, plane graphs,
trees, Eulerian and Hamiltonian circuits, computational
representations of graphs, some structural and operational problems
on graphs.
Teaching and Learning Methods Lectures are based on the
principle of the "Learning by Example", adapted to each type of the
planned classes. The curriculum of this course is presented in an
high practical way, thus transforming the practical lectures in
intense sessions dedicated to problem solving in an environment of
computational and mathematical programming.
Assessment The approval in the discipline is achieved by
obtaining a final grade (NF) of ten (10), or more. Duly enrolled
students may succeed by one of the following ways: Normal
assessment According to the curricula, evaluation is also separable
into two modules and there is a moment of assessment for each
designated by Part 1 (worth 60% of the final with a minimum score
of 3 values)
