1st International Conference on Open Source tools in Computer Science university education

25.–26. 10. 2021 Brno

Jiří Rybička (Ed.)

Multiplier events – conferences are one of the main activities of the project “Innovative Open Source Courses for Computer Science Curriculum”. The first of the two planned conferences took place on October 25 and 26, 2021 in room Z15 of building Z at Mendel University in Brno. The working languages of the conference were English, Czech and Slovak. A “1st International Conference on Open Source tools in Computer Science university education” included papers focused on project information, but also a section of papers devoted to more general aspects of open source software – analysis with Jupyter (dr. Mařík) and the use of R system in statistical evaluations and their interpretation (dr. Vencálek – chairman of the Czech statistical society). Due to major restrictions in the ongoing Covid-19 pandemic, as many speakers and listeners as would have been appropriate could not participate in the conference. Nevertheless, it was possible to reach the number of 50 participants and give the conference the necessary weight. The conference was divided into two days. On the first day, contributions related to general information about the project and contributions from the extended context of open source programs were heard, while on the second day contributions focused on clarifying the concepts of individual courses that are to be created within the project. This proceedings sumarizes all contributions on the conference. The main section contains the contributions of the first day, the second section called “Courses and their concepts” concentrate the contributions presented on the second day.

Fourierovy řady s podporou systému počítačové algebry wxMaxima

Aleš Kozubík

DOI: 10.11118/978-80-7509-898-6-0030

This paper presents a more advanced demonstration of the use of the computer algebra system wxmaxima in supporting the teaching of mathematical analysis. First, the development of a function into the Fourier series, the series of sines, and the series of cosines is briefly characterized. Consequently, this procedure is implemented as a script in the wxmaxima environment. Finally, we concentrate on a more advanced demonstration of finding the functional prescription of a given sample and developing it into a periodic continuation.

Pravděpodobnost a statistika s programováním v R

Aleš Kozubík

DOI: 10.11118/978-80-7509-898-6-0040

The paper is concerned with preparing an elementary course in probability and statistics with the support of the open-source programming environment R. It briefly presents the expected content of the planned curriculum with an emphasis on programming in R. The author presents the main reasons for choosing this particular tool. In the second part, he illustrates the use of this measure to work with actual real data.

Wireless Signal Processing in GNU Radio Environment

Remigiusz Olejnik

DOI: 10.11118/978-80-7509-898-6-0077

This chapter presents a GNU Radio — an open source software package aimed to be used as an environment for wireless signal processing. Such application could be useful for computer science students during their education process in the courses related with data transmission, telecommunications, radio communications etc.

Mobile Application Development

Radosław Maciaszczyk

DOI: 10.11118/978-80-7509-898-6-0083

The market of mobile devices especially smartphones is growing very fast. Numerous users of these devices causes that the mobile application market is also growing very fast. Universities and colleges have noticed this trend and courses related to mobile applications programming are present in most computer science curricula.
