Course Description:
This is an introductory Phyton programming course. It provides basic skills of programming to students with no prior programming experience. You will understand the use of basic computational and numeric methods for solving life science, health and bioengineering problems. The main focus is to learn developing new programs in Python and explore date to answer important science questions.Upon on successful completion of this course, you will have a sufficient knowledge for coding, algorithm development and data visualization techniques.Besides we hope that you will analyze and apply these methods to solve various biology/genetics problems. We would like to see you using the fundamental principles of computation and coding for quick and effective analysis of your data.
Objectives of this course:
At the end of this course the student will be able to:
1. Write a program and evaluate it
2. Acquire basic coding skills to analyze data
3. Enhance skills of transition from raw information to presented data.
4. Use operators for computation
5. Understand data analysis in biology, genetics, and health.
Prerequisite: Knowledge of introductory calculus, high school level linear algebra or equivalent is assumed. Students are also expected to have basic biology or some knowledge on life sciences. Permission of instructor.
