ABSTRACT

This course offers a comprehensive introduction to Python, a modern, versatile, and

high-level programming language that is widely adopted across academic disciplines and
industry sectors. It is designed primarily for undergraduate students with little to no
prior programming experience, though it also serves as a strong foundation for those
seeking to deepen their computational skills.

The curriculum begins with the basics of Python syntax, variables, and data types,
gradually progressing to more advanced topics such as control flow (conditional
statements and loops), functions, and data structures (lists, tuples, dictionaries, and
sets). Emphasis is placed on writing clean, efficient, and well-structured code.

Students are also introduced to key principles of software development, including

modularity, code reusability, and debugging techniques. Object-oriented programming
(OOP) concepts such as classes, objects, inheritance, and encapsulation are covered to
provide students with a deeper understanding of modern programming paradigms.

In addition to core programming skills, the course includes practical modules on file
handling, exception management, and working with libraries such as math, random, and
datetime. Students will also receive an introductory overview of Python’s applications in
areas such as data analysis, scientific computing, and automation.
