Curriculum
12h
Week 1: Saturday 1/17/2205
You will begin by meeting your instructor, Dr. Sultan, and getting to know your classmates. We will lay the groundwork for the course by:
Understanding the "Why": Discovering the powerful course goals and the reasons why Python is one of the most in-demand and versatile programming languages today.
Essential Setup: You will be guided through the critical first steps of installing the core tools you'll need:
Installing Python: Setting up the necessary interpreter on your machine.
Installing PyCharm: Learning to use this professional-grade Integrated Development Environment (IDE) to write and organize your code efficiently.
Your First Code: You will have the hands-on experience of writing and running your very first Python program in the first session.
Curriculum Roadmap: We will review the complete course syllabus, so you know exactly what topics and skills you will master throughout the program.
Week 1: Saturday 1/17/2205
Week 1: Sunday 1/18/2025
In this lecture will go through the following topics:
- Variables: Explain assignment, naming rules, and re-assignment.
- Integers and Floats: Discuss numeric types and basic arithmetic operators (+,−,∗,/,%,//,∗∗).
- Strings: Introduce string literals, indexing, slicing, and common string methods (e.g., .upper(), .lower(), .strip(), string formatting with f-strings).
Week 2: Saturday 1/24/2025
In this lesson will talk about the following 3 topics:
Lists:
- Covers creating, indexing, and slicing lists.
- Focuses on key list methods such as .append(), .pop(), and .sort().
Tuples:
- Explores the concept of immutability (cannot be changed after creation).
- Covers common use cases, particularly for returning multiple values from a function.
Sets:
- Focuses on their primary use for storing unique elements.
- Covers basic set operations like union and intersection.
Week 2: Sunday 1/25/2025
In this lecture will cover the following topics:
- Dictionaries: Introduce key-value pairs, accessing values, adding/modifying entries, and iterating through keys/values/items.
- Input Function & Boolean Discuss comparison operators (==,!=,) and how the input() function works (stressing it returns a string).
- Assign the Project
Week 3: Saturday 1/31/2025
In this lecture we will cover the following topics:
- If/Else Statements: Explain if, elif, and else. Focus on indentation and nested conditions. Run several logic-based exercises.
- For Loops: Focus on iterating over lists, strings, and dictionaries. Introduce range() and break/continue statements.
Week 3: Sunday 2/1/2025
In this lecture we will cover the following topics:
- While Loops: Focus on conditions that control loop execution and preventing infinite loops.
- Creating Functions: Define functions, parameters, arguments, return values, and scope (local vs. global variables).
Week 4: Saturday 2/7/2025
Week 4: Sunday 2/8/2025 – This will be a 3 hours session from 9:00 AM till 12:00 PM
In this lecture we will cover the following topics:
- Sympy Library
- Project Presentations Students present their project
