Description

This is the course page for the COL100 course for the Holi Semester in 2023 being taught by **Abhijnan Chakraborty and Rohan Paul** at the Department of Computer Science and Engineering, IIT Delhi.

The course content will cover the following aspects:

• Understanding what is computing? How to formulate a problem description in a formal and precise manner independent of specific language consideration.
• How to design and algorithm to translate a problem specification. Considerations of correctness and efficiency.
• Implementation of an algorithm to a program through step-wise refinement. Gaining experience with a programming language in writing moderately large programs.

The course is intended to teach the students a systematic process of design - beginning with problem formulation from an informal specification, through convincing arguments to algorithms, the analysis of their correctness and efficiency, and finally arriving at programs through a process of step-wise refinement.

The language used for the programming component of the course will be Python.

There are no pre-requisites for this course.
