The aim of this course is to develop students’ programming skills for solving problems commonly encountered in applied mathematics contexts. Specific problems that arise in applications of mathematics and data science (e.g. from finance, data analysis, or the physical sciences) are used to motivate concepts, techniques, and paradigms related to computation and programming. The Python language as well as a large collection of packages will be introduced. Students should be comfortable using computers but no prior programming background is required.
