Experienced Computer Scientists analyze and solve computational problems at a level of abstraction that is beyond that of any particular programming language. This two-part course builds on the principles that you learned in our Principles of Computing course and is designed to train students in the mathematical concepts and process of "Algorithmic Thinking", allowing them to build simpler, more efficient solutions to real-world computational problems.

Reseñas
Principales reseñas sobre ALGORITHMIC THINKING (PART 1)
por RQ29 de may. de 2016
The content is great. I enjoyed learning about graph theory. The new platform is pretty frustrating, though. The discussion boards are not as vibrant as they were before the paywall.
por OT28 de sep. de 2018
very educational. I've learnt not only about graph theory but also how to use matplotlib and timeit libraries. The assignments were quite challengeable but rewarding.
por MR16 de sep. de 2019
The class is very useful, I already see the improvement in the codes that I write. And the assignments are very well-designed and truly helpful.
por MN7 de mar. de 2018
This is where computer science truly starts, without the excessive preliminary math that usually scares most people away. Great course!
Acerca de Programa especializado: Fundamentals of Computing
This Specialization covers much of the material that first-year Computer Science students take at Rice University. Students learn sophisticated programming skills in Python from the ground up and apply these skills in building more than 20 fun projects. The Specialization concludes with a Capstone exam that allows the students to demonstrate the range of knowledge that they have acquired in the Specialization.
