About the Course

Computational thinking is the process of approaching a problem in a systematic manner and creating and expressing a solution such that it can
be carried out by a computer. But you don't need to be a computer scientist to think like a computer scientist! In fact, we encourage students
from any field of study to take this course. Many quantitative and data-centric problems can be solved using computational thinking and an
understanding of computational thinking will give you a foundation for solving problems that have real-world, social impact. In this course,
you will learn about the pillars of computational thinking, how computer scientists develop and analyze algorithms, and how s...
