This two-part course builds upon the programming skills that you learned in our Introduction to Interactive Programming in Python course. We will augment those skills with both important programming practices and critical mathematical problem solving skills. These skills underlie larger scale computational problem solving and programming. The main focus of the class will be programming weekly mini-projects in Python 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.

This course is very good for beginners and intermediate coders. Gives important basics about computer science from 3 very good professors.
由 JH 提供May 15, 2018
very wellmade assignments! that goes a long way!\n\nplotting seemed a bit superflous and not much learned.\n\nThank you professors!
由 PV 提供Jun 26, 2016
It's quite a step up from the level op IPP. Assignments are also a bit more difficult but still very enjoyable puzzles to solve.
由 IB 提供Jun 11, 2017
Yay, no more peer grading! This course felt easier than intro2. Less fiddling with your programs and more about concepts.
由 JG 提供May 28, 2016
Awesome course! Recommend to newcomers and intermediate alike. The instructors are great and the content is challenging.
由 TB 提供Aug 25, 2017
Most of the course was awesome, just wasn't crazy about the testing questions at the end of each quizz
由 KM 提供Oct 28, 2017
definitely gets you thinking the right way about programming (math, algorithms, efficiency, etc.
由 JO 提供Feb 19, 2018
Another wonderful class in this series. Great, engaging instructors and interesting projects.
由 AK 提供May 19, 2018
Extremely well structured and highly recommended as a beginner course for computer science!
由 RR 提供Jun 16, 2017
Best specialization for those who want to improve their coding and computational thinking.
由 DP 提供Apr 29, 2017
Really great course, understanding deeper some principles of computing. Great staff too.
由 JC 提供Sep 15, 2019
Increasing harder than the IIPP, but at the right level of toughness... great course!
