Information:

This subject is aimed at students with little or no programming experience. It aims to provide students with an understanding of the role computation can play in solving problems. It also aims to help students, regardless of their major, to feel justifiably confident of their ability to write small programs that allow them to accomplish useful goals. The class will use the Python programming language.

Piazza Forum

The course forum on Piazza is a public forum for discussing questions about the assignments. This is a good place to exchange thoughts and get helps from your classmates and the course staff.

Please avoid giving away any part of a solution about the homework directly in your Q&A on Piazza.
