Introduction to Computer Science and Programming Specialization

This specialisation covers topics ranging from basic computing principles to the mathematical foundations required for computer science. You will learn fundamental concepts of how computers work, which can be applied to any software or computer system. You will also gain the practical skillset needed to write interactive, graphical programs at an introductory level. The numerical mathematics component will provide you with numerical and computational tools that are essential for the problem solving and modelling stages of computer science.
WHAT YOU WILL LEARN
. Use the Javascript language to create interactive programs in the browser with 2D graphics.
. Convert between number bases, work with modular arithmetic, sequences and series and plot graphs.
. Develop and use mental models to describe the workings of a range of computer systems.
. Transform numbers between number bases and perform arithmetic in number bases
