Course Description
About the course
Many interesting and important problems can be solved efficiently with the help of computing. A traditional course on “Programming for Problem Solving” develops your ability to manually translate your solutions from natural language to programs so that they can be run on computers. Thanks to advances in Generative AI, much of this translation can be performed automatically via easy-to-access tools such as ChatGPT, Codeium and GitHub Copilot. Thus, this course seeks to develop two main abilities:
(1) To express your solutions in natural language clearly enough so that Generative AI tools can translate them into programs
(2) To understand, test and debug programs (manually, and with AI support) to confirm that the translation is correct.
No prior knowledge of programming is assumed. The course will mainly use the Python programming language but some C programming will be introduced to discuss advanced concepts.
