Welcome to the course on ''Basic concepts of Computer Science and Problem Solving Method''
These days, understanding how to use a computer is helpful in many areas of life, from work to school to socializing. Computer science is a field of study that takes computing to the next level, understanding not just how to use the computer but how the computer itself works, and how to make it do new things efficiently. More and more people are learning computer science and turning their knowledge into a lucrative career in fields like business, health care, engineering, and many others. If you are interested in learning more about computer science as a hobby or career, there are several ways you can get started. BASIC, (Beginner’s All-purpose Symbolic Instruction Code). Computer programming language developed by John G. Kemeny and Thomas E. Kurtz at Dartmouth College. One of the simplest high-level languages, with commands similar to English, it can be learned with relative ease even by school children and novice programmers. Since 1980, BASIC has been popular for use on personal computers.
As we know computer science is the study of "computing, programming, and computation in correspondence with computer systems". This field of study utilizes theories on how computers work to design, test, and analyze concepts. Computer science usually has a stronger mathematical foundation than a scientific one. Computer science resonates as being vital for any industry to succeed in this day and age.
Solving problems is the core of computer science. Programmers must first understand how a human solves a problem, then understand how to translate this "algorithm" into something a computer can do, and finally how to "write" the specific syntax (required by a computer) to get the job done. It is sometimes the case that a machine will solve a problem in a completely different way than a human.
You will gain the knowledge that you need for academic and professional development and to learn that how computer science is playing important role in our professional and educational life. At the end of this course, I hope that you will have the material to meet your educational goals. This course will enhance your appreciation for the study of computer system in our world.
