Content:

FYS292 gives an overview and introduction to the computing recourses at the Department of physics, with examples from real life research projects. The course will deal with basic use of Linux as an operating system, networks, use of ROOT as a data analysis tool, and use of C++ as a programming language.

Aim:

Students about to start their "hovedfag" will take part in research projects where use of computers is essential. The aim is to give the students basic knowledge about use of computers, terminals, data analysis tools, operating systems, and programming tools needed to take part in these research projects.

Exam/Project work:

We plan to define these around Easter. We'll come back with more information later.

Exercises

This section will be updated during the semester

Exercise 12
 Classes and Objects - Inheritance
Exercise 11
 Classes and Objects - Class Design
Exercise 10
 Classes and Objects - Constructor and Destructor
Exercise 9
 Arrays and pointers
Exercise 8
 ROOT - Ntuples
Exercise 7
 ROOT-macros and g++ compiler
Exercise 6
 ROOT - Creating histograms
Exercise 5
 ROOT - Introduction
Exercise 4
 Shell scripting and networking
Exercise 3
 Basic Linux concepts. About user rithts and permissions, pipes and redirection, and basic process management.
Exercise 2
 HTML - aking Web pages. You need to be able to make a simple web page because this is the way you'll document your project work. This exercise deals both with the old way (code the tags manually) and the new way (using a WYSIWYG tool) of making web pages.
Exercise 1
 Logging on the computer system.

Literature

There is no official book you should buy to use with this course. However, if you are interested in Linux or C++, you are welcome to buy a book about it. The lectures and the exercises should be enough to do the project work and pass the course.

The first of the following book is on C++, whereas the second one is a book on Linux for beginners. Studia probably have all of these.
