Introduction to Computer Science and Programming As taught in: Fall 2008 Many of the problem sets focus on specific topics, such as virus population dynamics, word games, protein sequences, or simulating the movement of a Roomba.

Instructors: Prof. Eric Grimson Prof. John Guttag MIT Course Number: 6.00 Level: Undergraduate Course Description This subject is aimed at students with little or no programming experience. It aims to provide students with an understanding of the role computation can play in solving problems. It also aims to help students, regardless of their major, to feel justifiably confident of their ability to write small programs that allow them to accomplish useful goals. The class will use the Python™ programming language. Syllabus Course Meeting Times Lectures: 2 sessions / week, 1 hour / session Recitations: 1 session / week, 1 hour / session Prerequisites This subject is aimed at students with little or no programming experience. Goals This subject has several related goals:  Provide an understanding of the role computation can play in solving problems.  Help students, including those who do not necessarily plan to major in Course VI, to feel justifiably confident of their ability to write small programs that allow them to accomplish useful goals.  Position students so that they can compete for UROPs and excel in subjects such as 6.01. Lecture and Recitation Attendance A significant portion of the material for this course will be presented only in lecture, so students are expected to regularly attend lectures. Recitations give students a chance to ask questions about the lecture material or the problem set for the given week. Sometimes, new material may be covered in
