    Description
    This is an introductory course in computational methods primarily using the Python programming language. Students will use the concepts of variables, functions, conditionals, and loops in conjunction with the powerful Python mathematics packages NumPy and Pandas to explore the ideas of iteration, recursion, algorithms, and simulation. Students will analyze self-collected data sets utilizing code within the Python framework. The course includes coverage of the interplay of software with the physical world and will be compliant with the standards of the Association for Computing Machinery (ACM). Note: A term project will be required and may include the use of the Raspberry Pi computer system.
