About the Course

Computing has become a major tool in science and engineering so much so that it is often called the third pillar along with experiments and theory. Even outside these fields, almost all aspects of our lives have become automated, and this revolution is being dominantly driven by programmers. During these five days, we will cover basic elements of python programming and then move onto numerical algorithms. We will also cover the Python implementation of these algorithms.

It will not be a purely theoretical course since a major portion of the course will be dedicated to encouraging students to solve problems. Any difficulties in solving the exercises will be addressed through real-time interactions with our teaching assistants.

Proposed timing: 9:30 AM to 4:00 PM

Features of the course:

  • The course will be taught in a blended format: through live lectures, pre-recorded videos and live Q/A sessions.
  • Each day will consist of 2 hours of lectures followed by 3 hours of supervised problem solving on Prutor.ai with appropriate breaks in between.
  • Slides and video recordings of the lectures will also be provided.
  • Students will be evaluated based on 2 factors: a final quiz and a small Python project.
  • Certificates from IIT Kanpur will be awarded based on merit at the end of the course.

No classes on saturday and sunday.

Course Contents:

The contents of the course will the divided in 2 parts:

01. Basic elements of programming:

  • Data Structures
  • Loops
  • Conditionals
  • Functions
  • Plotting

02. Numerical methods:

  • Integration
  • Differentiation
  • Ordinary Differentiation Equation (ODE) solvers
  • Basic Regression

The students will also get a chance to implement and enhance their understanding of the course by practicing a variety of problems and exercises on all these topics.
