• CSC 116: Computational Thinking for Problem Solving

  3.00 Credits

  West Chester University of Pennsylvania

  
  This course provides an introduction to problem solving and programming using Python. Computational thinking is an approach to solve problems using concepts and ideas from computer science and express solutions in a way that can be run on a computer. Topics covered in this course include (1) four pillars of computational thinking, namely decomposition, pattern recognition, data representation and abstraction, algorithms; (2) fundamental operations of a modern computer; (3) basic algorithms in computer science; and (4) programming using Python.
