Introduction to Computational Thinking
Computational thinking is essential for problem solving and effective use of data in modern society, but what is computational thinking anyway? Computational thinking is really a way of solving problems by specifying detailed, step-by-step solutions to those problems; collect, represent and analyze data to help draw conclusions or make decisions; and using a variety of techniques to improve the effectiveness of our problem solutions.
This course is designed to help you learn key topics in computational thinking and develop your skills in these areas.
Learn about and develop computational thinking skills
Algorithms and procedures
Data collection, representation and analysis
Breakdown of the problem
Abstraction
Automating
Simulation
Parallelization
Computational Thinking In Python
What is Python and why is it important?
Python is a general purpose, interpreted text-based programming language that has wonderfully simplified syntax, dynamic typing, and a tremendous open source community constantly creating more and more amazing libraries and modules. This makes python a great tool for someone new to proramming as well as for someone with serious ambitions in areas such as data analytics web development or the Internet of Things.
What is the special feature of this course?
This is simply the second ultimate programming course for everyone !. The approach adopted demonstrates some theoretical concepts and then asks the student to solve an open-ended problem. Just as heavy lifting tends to make your muscles bigger, solving difficult problems improves your thinking! Perhaps more importantly, these types of problems spark creativity and create original solutions. Completing this course with an understanding of several solutions for each problem will equip the student with a conceptual mastery of Python and thus prepare them to use Python and a professional framework and to create real world applications !!
You will learn:
Students will learn to fluently apply the basic concepts: loops, flow control, and functions
Students will be more efficient and confident in solving difficult problems
Students will master various types of Python data: strings, lists, and dictionaries
Students will learn to factorize numbers and discover prime numbers
Students will optimize programs to reduce processing time
Students will write functions to generate images / illustrations in IDLE text interfaces
Students will learn how LOGO / Turtle works and generates images
Students will write functions to generate polygons of different shapes and sizes
Students will write successful functions using random numbers to generate realistic graphic backgrounds: stars and clouds
Students will perform text analysis and write programs that check syntax
Students will learn how to load text files into programs and rank all words in the text file by popularity
Students learn recursion from mathematical and graphical examples
Students use recursion to generate spirals similar to those that occur in nature
Students use recursion to generate Koch fractals and Koch snowflakes
