Kursinhalt
The main purpose of this course is to make the student familiar with basic concepts of programming in Python, one of the most important languages used at the moment.
This prepares the student for further courses, for example, in Data Science, Machine Learning, or Web Development.
Students taking this course in the past reported that they could use what they learned in summer internships as well, in particular when they worked in start-ups.
Also, many students applied what they learned when writing their theses.
The topics introduced are:
- basic elements of a programming language
- modularization via functions
- boolean if-else logic
- flow control via for- or while-loops
- data types (lists, tuples, dictionaries, sets, arrays, dataframes)
- replacing Excel with Python
- data mining with APIs (e.g., Google Maps API)
