Informatics I

Introduction to Computing for Chemists

Prof. Philippe H. Hünenberger / HS25

IMPORTANT NOTE: Starting from the fall semester of 2025, the programming language taught will change from C++ to Python.

This has the following consequences:

  • I will not be able to distribute a lecture script (booklet) at semester start in HS25 (as I usually do), and students will have to download the lecture pdf's weekly from the web page.
  • Besides exercise 1 (UNIX) and exercise 7 (Modeling),  the exercise series 2-6  will be entirely new,  progressively teaching Python in the form of Jupyter notebooks.
  • It will be possible to take exams in spring 2026, fall 2026, and spring 2027 in either Python or in C++. However, starting from the fall exam of 2027, the exams will be conducted exclusively in Python.
