This will be the first formal programming course that students will see in this programme. The goal of this course is to introduce Python programming, which is used throughout the programme, with a basic problem solving and algorithmic flavour.
Using basic programming concepts such as variables, expressions, loops, conditionals and functions in Python
Creating, manipulating, and using more Python specific features such as lists, tuples, and dictionaries
Familiarising with and using common Python libraries such as random, math, datetime, scipy, matplotlib, Pandas etc
Analysing real life activities and casting them as programming problems
Applying programming concepts to analyse and solve diverse problems
Writing Readable code and debugging it
Building small applications using python
