Introduction to Computing: Python

Section: 001

Course Description

This course introduces students to the foundations of programming, data science, and scientific computing using Python. It integrates artificial intelligence (AI) as a learning and problem-solving tool. Students explore the principles of algorithms, data types, control structures, functions, and data structures, progressing toward more advanced applications in scientific computing, data analysis, and AI-assisted problem solving. Students learn not only how to write and debug Python code but also how to critically evaluate and refine AI-generated code. The course emphasizes ethical and responsible AI use, debugging and validation skills, and developing independent coding proficiency.
