CMPS5P: Introduction to Programming in Python

Introduction to programming for engineering or science students who have no prior programming experience. Students learn programming and documentation skills, as well as algorithmic problem-solving and programming methodologies. Introduces students to computers, programming tools, and editors. Students write medium-sized programs to solve web-based and scientific problems. This course and courses 5C and 5J cover largely the same material, but use different programming languages.

Introduction to programming in Python, a high-level programming language used in the physical and social sciences and for Internet scripting. Students learn programming and documentation skills, as well as algorithmic problem-solving, coding and debugging methodologies. Students write programs to solve sample problems drawn from a wide range of disciplines, primarily in the sciences. No prior programming experience required, but a math background at the pre-calculus level is assumed. This course and courses 5C and 5J cover similar concepts, but use different programming languages. (General Education Code (s): MF, IN.)
