  1. Chapter 0 Introduction Applications of Computer Programming in Earth Sciences Instructor: Dr. Cheng-Chien Liu Department of Earth Sciences National Cheng Kung University Last updated: 29 September 2004

  2. Syllabus • Course name:Applications of Computer Programming in Earth Sciences • Credit: 3 • Prerequisite: • Graduate students • Undergraduate students of the third or four year • Time: • Tuesday 10:10 – 12:00 • Wednesday 13:10 – 14:00 • Place: • Remote sensing laboratory • Teaching Assistant: Conifer Chang

  3. Objectives • Introduce students • The commonly used programming languages in earth sciences, C++ (C is essentially an older subset of C++) and visual C++ • Students will develop • The ability to write a window-based program to utilize the computer resource to solve the mathematical problems in Earth Sciences • Students are expected • Design and implement a practical project using techniques/knowledge learned from this course

  4. Textbook • Teach yourself C++ in 21 days, Jesse Liberty, SAMS(http://lib.daemon.am/Books/C++/htm/fm.htm) • 精通Visual C++ .NET 視窗程式設計, 位元文化, 文魁圖書, 2002 （成大圖書部可代訂）

  5. Schedule • Introduction: Basic structure of a C++ program • Data type • Input/output • Operator and Control • Array and Function • Class • Pointer and Reference • Inheritance and Polymorphism

  6. Schedule (cont.) • Frame and resources • Window message • Menu • Doc/View • Dialog • Plotting and Printing • Redraw • Multiple document window application

  7. Some questions • Who am I? • http://myweb.ncku.edu.tw/~ccliu88/ • Why are we here? • You and I, … • Why exams? • Acquire knowledge, … • Why taking lectures? • Save time and efforts, … • Why Lab evaluation? • Keep on the right track, …

  8. Responses • Lecture notes on web • Three ways to be master of ACPES • Practice • Practice • Practice • Strategy • Free access to the remote sensing lab (issue entry card) • 10 min on-site test every week • On-site (mid-term and final) exams • Monitoring student’s progress and grade • On-line report everybody’s grade every week

  9. Grade • Weekly on-site exams 30% • Midterm exam 15% • Final exam 15% • Term project 40% • A window-based application to solve one particular problem that is commonly encountered in Earth Sciences

  10. Laboratory Regulation • No computer games, MP3, pornography, DVD, movies or any illegal downloads • The computers are endued with the most noble mission of education • No food or drink • The computers are neither hungry nor thirsty • Take off shoes • The computers got a delicate respiratory system • No changes of hardware or software • The computers like the way they are

  11. Enforcement of Regulation • Those who have the privilege of using the lab have the responsibility to report any violation of regulation • Camera system • Computer log file • Laboratory head • Take in charge of this lab • Take all responsibilities

  12. Violation of Regulation • One violation, three points • Five points, revoke entry card • Stay with any violation without report, one point each • Penalty of losing or damaging entry card: NT 500

  13. Limitation of student number • 10 • Deliberate before taking this course • We still have chances in the future
