| Course Description: |
Introduction to Programming aims at preparing students with the basic concepts of programming and teaching them basic programing skills using Python. Python is a full spectrum language, very popular languages and in the same time very user friendly. This course will introduce students to numbers, math, functions and loops, conditional logic and control flows, object oriented programming, file input and output, working with databases, interacting with the web, scientific computing and graphing and graphical user interfaces. These will equip students with necessary skills so that they can adopt more advanced features as they need them when their application demands grow.
|
| Course Objectives: |
The objective of this course is to introduce students with the fundamental programming skills as a starting point for analyzing large amounts of financial data using Python, create visualizations, and start using statistics for predictive modeling in the future.
