This two-part course introduces the basic mathematical and programming principles that underlie much of Computer Science. Understanding these principles is crucial to the process of creating efficient and well-structured solutions for computational problems. To get hands-on experience working with these concepts, we will use the Python programming language. The main focus of the class will be weekly mini-projects that build upon the mathematical and programming principles that are taught in the class. To keep the class fun and engaging, many of the projects will involve working with strategy-based games.

Lehrplan - Was Sie in diesem Kurs lernen werden
Searching and Data Structures
This week, we will explain the importance of searching. We will also explore various data structures and learn about inheritance.
Recursion
This week, we will explain the importance of recursion.
Trees
This week, we will explain the importance of trees. We will also explore how to set up game trees so that we can efficiently search them.
Modeling, Assertions, and Invariants
This week, we will explain the importance of modeling. We will also explore how to use assertions and invariants to ensure that our models are always consistent and correct.

very helpful course, the projects are challenging but interesting to work on!
Great course, but the final project in W4 is very long compared the rest of the projects in this series of courses. Content is still top notch though.
Another fantastic course from the team at Rice University. The coursework is interesting and challenging, and I really feel I have learned a lot.
Tough! but very kind explanation and hard work! Thank you, teachers!
Über den Spezialisierung Fundamentals of Computing
This Specialization covers much of the material that first-year Computer Science students take at Rice University, brought to you by the world-class Faculty who teach our master's and PhD programs. Students learn sophisticated programming skills in Python from the ground up and apply these skills in building more than 20 fun projects. The Specialization concludes with a Capstone exam that allows the students to demonstrate the range of knowledge that they have acquired in the Specialization.
