Course description
Welcome to Python Programming! We hope to inspire you to learn and improve your programming skills.
We will assume that you have no prior knowledge about programming, but have basic Mathematical knowledge (you understand terms like functions, vectors, matrices, variables).
This webpage will be the main portal for the course. Most things you need will be available here. The exceptions are:
- Announcements and questions/answers/discussions: on EdStem
- Other materials like slides and recordings from our live sessions: available on Scientia
More details about arrangements for the course (e.g. lecture topics, courseworks) will be given in the first lecture on Tuesday 11am in Huxley 145.
Course materials
You will use our self-paced, guided study materials, designed to help you learn programming by doing!
