Welcome to CSCI 203: Introduction to Computer Science. From the swipe of your ID card to the navigation of autonomous vehicles, computing is inescapable in the 21st century. The goal of this course is to equip you with a mindset of computational thinking to not only see through the “magic” of your laptop but to amplify and empower you in the areas you care about, no matter what discipline you’re in. Yes, you will learn to program in Python during this course, but more important, we will use programming to explore the larger, more wide-reaching ideas of computer science – how can we represent complex ideas with small, physical mechanisms? How can we solve big, difficult problems with simple, easily-described steps? Are there problems that are too hard for us to solve, or even unsolvable all together? What does it mean to combine computer science with math or science or humanities or art?
