Introduction to Computer Science and Programming Using Python

Recommended Posts

Starts on August 30, 2016 - Te poti inscrie aici: https://www.edx.org/course/introduction-computer-science-mitx-6-00-1x-8#!

 

  • Length: 9 weeks
  • Effort: 15 hours per week
  • Price: Free
  • Institution: MITx
  • Subject: Computer Science
  • Level: Introductory
  • Languages: English
  • Video Transcripts: English

 

Prerequisites

High school algebra and a reasonable aptitude for mathematics. Students without prior programming background will find there is a steep learning curve and may have to put in more than the estimated time effort.

 

What you'll learn

  • A Notion of computation
  • The Python programming language
  • Some simple algorithms
  • Testing and debugging
  • An informal introduction to algorithmic complexity
  • Data structures

 

Since these courses may be the only formal computer science courses many of the students take, we have chosen to focus on breadth rather than depth. The goal is to provide students with a brief introduction to many topics so they will have an idea of what is possible when they need to think about how to use computation to accomplish some goal later in their career. That said, they are not "computation appreciation" courses. They are challenging and rigorous courses in which the students spend a lot of time and effort learning to bend the computer to their will.
