This module dives deep into how to use compiuter programming to solve problems, and is a module for all students interested in learning more about programming a computer to make it do what they want it to do. Students will learn important programming constructs and how to use these in a spscific programming language. Students will also learn to take a 'divide and conquer' approach to programming, in which a complex programming task is split into a set of simple procedures: pieces of program that are easy to write. These procedures are then combined to produce a completed program. Algorithms to solve significant problems will be developed using this approach. Many of the programming examples presented in this module will focus on data science - using data to answer real-world questions - one of the most interesting areas of modern computer science.
