For Analytics and Data Science for Economics and Management Course students'
DESCRIPTION
This course is a basic introduction to important concepts in computer science and programming, designed to prepare students for the upcoming course, ‘Coding for Data Science and Analytics’.
During the sessions, students will learn about the basics of computing, programming languages, and the main ideas behind algorithms and data manipulation.
By covering preliminary notions and exercises on key topics such as variables, data types, control structures, functions, and data structures, this pre-course aims to give students a strong foundation in programming, which will be essential for their success in the next course.
Given the highly practical nature of this course and the fact that no student assessments are scheduled, we do not plan to offer distance learning for this course. However, lectures materials will be made available to students.
