This is an introductory college-level course in computer science for engineering and science students, taught by Akos Ledeczi, Michael Fitzpatrick, and Robert Tairas from Vanderbilt University, in partnership with Coursera.
However, it is also suitable for high school students who are interested in programming. The material assumes no background in mathematics beyond the standard high school curriculum.
