About the Course

This twelve-week course aims to use Python. The course provides an introduction to the use of computers for solving mathematical problems. For this, course introduces the basics of Python 3, including conditional execution and iteration as control structures, and strings and lists as data structures., and are demonstrate how a programming language can enable the solution of mathematical problems. The course does not assume prior programming experience and does not aim at an in-depth understanding of the details of Python. Rather the focus is on understanding concepts and techniques of how programming can help to expand the spectrum of tractable mathematical problems. First, we will look at setting up Python IDLE and Turtle Graphics, Sympy and Mathplotlib packages and some basic things we can do using the graphics library. Next, you will get hands-on experience using programming to create a simple graphics creation program. Finally, this course should enable you to read more advanced material on Python, and prepare you to learn other programming languages or packages that are commonly encountered in computational mathematics. Also, you will learn mathematical programming including documentation, graphics, algebraic expression solving with mathematical adventures in Python.
