COSC 185 Programming for Everyone - Python

Computer science is the study of what can be computed and how to compute it. The principles of computer science have far reaching interest in diverse fields, including: business (coordinating accounts across branches), medicine (optimization of the exchange of organs among pools of donors and recipients), and literature (retrieval of information from ancient texts from new databases). With the common and useful computer language Python, you will be able to: describe the basic principles of how computers work, break complex tasks into manageable components, and model and simulate data for problems that have many or no computable solutions.
