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.

Overall a great course, with a few glitches: 1. The tests for the homework are not working properly. 2. The amount of homework is a bit overwhelming for an introductory course.

Phew, this course was much harder than the preceding courses. Some assignments took many hours of work over several days. But it's doable, and well worth it.
由 RH 提供Feb 24, 2019
Great course, I hope for more of this kind of courses. Invaluable skills gained from this course. High praise to all the professors. Thank You Very Much.
由 YY 提供May 8, 2018
little bit hard to solve the assignment.\n\nEven though it took much more time to solve the assignments and practice activity, this class was awesome.
由 MR 提供Oct 13, 2017
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.
由 AM 提供Jan 12, 2017
If I wanted to learn programming from scratch, I'd take this specialization. They are great teachers and the recursion section was extremely helpful.
由 AF 提供Dec 7, 2017
Another fantastic course from the team at Rice University. The coursework is interesting and challenging, and I really feel I have learned a lot.
由 OK 提供May 12, 2019
Mini-projects hard and makes you wanna think all aspects which is a good programming practice. However, I believe theoretical depth is missing.
由 SY 提供Jun 9, 2018
projects are tough at least for me it was but once you finish all the project, that rewarding feeling is just awesome
由 AF 提供Oct 16, 2017
Learned lots! One year down the line I was asked at a job interview about my past experience in python and gave this!
由 DP 提供Apr 29, 2017
Very challenging projects and a very interesting way to learn about data structures. Lecturers are really great
由 JH 提供Jun 4, 2018
wonderfully fun assignments!:)\n\nLast one is killer... hardest one I faced on Coursera!:)
