Course abstract
Computational Science and Engineering using Python ABOUT THE COURSE: Computing has become a major tool in science and engineering so much so that it is called the third pillar along with experiments and theory. In this course, we first introduce Python programming language. Then we cover basic numerical algorithms covering interpolation, integration, differentiation, ODE and PDE solvers, and basic linear algebra. Python implementation of these algorithms will be covered.

Final Score Calculation Logic
- Assignment Score = 15% of best 6 out of 8 MCQ assignments + 10% Programming Assignment.
- Final exam: 25%Programming + 50% MCQ
- FINAL SCORE = Exam Score(Programming, MCQ) + Assignment Score(Programming, MCQ)
