Programming Using Python, edx platform, professor Eric Grimson, professor John Guttag, professor Ana Bell


6.00.1x is an introduction to computer science as a tool to solve real-world analytical problems.

About this course:
  • This course is the first of a two-course sequence: Introduction to Computer Science and Programming Using Python, and Introduction to Computational Thinking and Data Science. Together, they are designed to help people with no prior exposure to computer science or programming learn to think computationally and write programs to tackle useful problems. Some of the people taking the two courses will use them as a stepping stone to more advanced computer science courses, but for many it will be their first and last computer science courses.
  • 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.

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.
