This course introduces computer science with basic logic and fundamental programming techniques. Fundamentals of programming includes primitive data types, expressions, control statements, functions, and arrays. Both theoretical concepts and practical skills are involved; students can experience problem solving by formulating programmatic solutions for real problems and translate them into correct and efficient programs in current programming languages such as C++, Python, Fortran, etc.
