Computer Programming

This document provides information on the Computer Programming course offered in the 1st year. The course is for 3 credits over 1 semester and introduces students to programming languages like C, Python, and MATLAB. The course aims to teach problem solving methods, algorithm development, and good programming style. It covers topics like variables, data types, conditional statements, loops, functions, and pointers in C and the basics of Python and MATLAB. The expected outcomes are that students can analyze and modify short programs, design and debug their own programs using fundamental constructs, and apply techniques like structured decomposition.
