Introduction to Computer Science and Programming Coursera

Overview

This Introduction to Computer Science and Programming Specialisation offered by Coursera in partnership with University of London covers topics ranging from basic computing principles to the mathematical foundations required for computer science. 

You will learn fundamental concepts of how computers work, which can be applied to any software or computer system. You will also gain the practical skillset needed to write interactive, graphical programs at an introductory level. 

The numerical mathematics component will provide you with numerical and computational tools that are essential for the problem solving and modelling stages of computer science.

Applied Learning Project

• There are a range of activities included in this specialization that will enable learners to apply and develop their programming skills in a fun and engaging way. 

• Learners will master the fundamentals of computer science by solving mathematical puzzles using interactive techniques, becoming a detective and solving crimes in an interactive sleuth application and apply computer science concepts to solve problems found in daily computer use.
