Course Objective and Content

Course Objectives: This course offers a comprehensive exploration of computer science fundamentals. It covers programming languages, algorithm design, efficiency analysis, and various algorithm paradigms. Students will also apply computational thinking using Python.
Course Content: This course aims to understand the fundamentals of computer science, including the significance of programming languages and the historical context of computing. It will focus on the design and analysis of algorithms with an emphasis on efficient problem-solving strategies. Students will evaluate the efficiency of algorithms considering time and space complexity and apply this knowledge to real-world problem-solving. Various algorithmic paradigms, such as Brute Force, Decrease-and-Conquer, Divide-and-Conquer, and Transform-and-Conquer, will be applied to address diverse problem domains. Additionally, students will apply computational thinking in practical contexts using Python, enhancing their ability to solve real-world problems effectively.
