Course Goal / Objective
The purpose of the course is to introduce the idea of developing an algorithm to students for problem solving, to bring the knowledge of developing a program using their algorithm and to introduce the frequently used algorithms in statistics.
Course Content
Once the computers, algorithms and flow charts are discussed in the course, data structers of computers, mathematical operations, conditions and loops, subroutines and functions, sorting and searching algorithms will be given. In addition to that the developed algorithms will be coded with Scratch and MATLAB.
