CS 12100 - Introduction To Python With Applications In AI

Credit Hours: 3.00. This course provides a hands-on introduction to Python programming, designed for students with no prior programming experience. As a general education course, it aims to equip students with essential problem-solving skills, logical thinking, and a basic understanding of how programming can be used to solve real-world challenges. Through interactive exercises and projects, students will learn the fundamentals of Python, including variables, control structures (loops, conditionals), functions, data types (strings, lists, dictionaries), and basic file handling. The course emphasizes practical applications of programming, with a focus on critical thinking and creative problem-solving. The course also introduces students to fundamental concepts in Artificial Intelligence (AI) and explores how Python can be used in AI applications like data analysis and automation. By the end of the course, students will have a solid foundation in programming, and an understanding of how Python is used to build AI-powered solutions. No prior knowledge of programming is required, making this course accessible to all students, regardless of their academic background.
