Licence 1 Mathématique informatique (MI)

This first-semester methodological course introduces students to information technologies and open-source software. It covers fundamental IT concepts including hardware, software, and communication networks, alongside practical applications like the Internet and multimedia tools. The second part focuses specifically on open-source tools, exploring their history and licensing, and providing hands-on experience with development environments (Linux), office suites (LibreOffice), and collaboration platforms, with assessment based entirely on a final exam.

Course Objectives:

• Master Python programming.

• Explore fundamental scientific libraries (NumPy, Matplotlib) for simple mathematical applications.

• Apply Python to introductory problems in linear algebra, differential calculus, and probability/statistics.

Recommended Prerequisites:

• Basic high school-level mathematics.

• No prior programming experience is required.
