<br>
<br>This course introduces fundamental programming concepts in the Python language and related 
<br>
<br>environment.  Fundamental concepts include overview of computer systems, Python environment setup, 
<br>
<br>Python language overview, command line interface, numbers, string formatting, sequences, dictionaries 
<br>
<br>and sets, control flow, exception, file, function, recursion, ob<x>ject orientation, inheritance, polymorphism, 
<br>
<br>and modules.  The programming environment will be primarily text-ba<x>sed in Unix environment, although 
<br>
<br>graphical user interface (IDLE) and web-ba<x>sed (Jupyter) will also be demonstrated.
