Experienced Computer Scientists analyze and solve computational problems at a level of abstraction that is beyond that of any particular programming language. This two-part class is designed to train students in the mathematical concepts and process of "Algorithmic Thinking", allowing them to build simpler, more efficient solutions to computational problems.

Meilleurs avis pour RÉFLEXION ALGORITHMIQUE (PARTIE 2)
Great class...Luay's lectures and problem sets were a great continuation to what Joe and Scott started. I suppose I will get started on Course 7 shortly.
Excellent class in the series. Even if computational biology is not your thing, the assignments are really interesting, fun and informative.
This is a challenging course that teaches an invaluable problem solving approach, applicable in many domains.
Great course! Definitely learned a lot from the process of doing projects
À propos du Spécialisation Bases de l'informatique
This Specialization covers much of the material that first-year Computer Science students take at Rice University. Students learn sophisticated programming skills in Python from the ground up and apply these skills in building more than 20 fun projects. The Specialization concludes with a Capstone exam that allows the students to demonstrate the range of knowledge that they have acquired in the Specialization.
