| Learning Outcomes: |
Provide an understanding of the role computation can play in solving problems. Help students, including those who do not necessarily plan to major in Course VI, to feel justifiably confident of their ability to write small programs that allow them to accomplish useful goals. Position students so that they can compete for UROPs and excel in subjects such as 6.01. Topics include software design, algorithms, data analysis, and simulation techniques |
| LO categories: |
Designing Algorithms Problem Solving (also things like computational thinking) |
