This course is aimed at students with no previous experience or with modest experience in programming. The course will be structured in two parts that will run parallel. One part will be dedicated to learning the basics of programming, such as data types, statements and syntax, data containers, control structures, functions, object-oriented programming, and file input/output. Teaching will be based on the Python language, which is a free and widely adopted high-level language with applications in scientific computing, finance industry, and the Web. In parallel to this formal computer science introduction, the course will introduce students to the basics of scientific computing, teaching aspects such as data interpolation, data fitting, solution of linear systems, meaning of eigenvectors and eigenvalues in computing, filtering and convolution, least squares problems, and a brief introduction to ordinary differential equations and partial differential equations.
