Course Information

Prof. Seongjin Lee and I will share many information for teaching you. In the class, we will use the same text books, class materials, exercises, and assignments. Overall layout and the course schedule in both of the classes are the same. However,  Each class is graded separately.

I will use the GNU e-learning system: http://e-campus.gnu.kr. You can access it by using your mobile, http://me-campus.gnu.kr. You can also find helpful information by visiting Prof. Seonjin Lee's course page. 

Course Introduction

We are going to learn two languages in this course, Python and C. Python is a language that is easy to learn. By learning Python, you can easily understand the components of programming. Python is also powerful, jumping to the top of the uses of programming languages (see The Top Programming Languages 2017). C is a lower-level language than Python. If you is going to develop embedded software systems, such as aerospace software systems, you need to use C and its variations (e.g., C++ and C#). By using C, you can control the details of hardware and operating systems.

Goal

In this course, we are going to learn the essence of two languages, namely Python and C. Students are going to learn the following concepts.
• Compiling and running the program
• Variables, Data Types, and Arithmetic Expressions
• Loops and Control Flows
• Arrays and Pointers
• Functions
• Data Structures
• File I/O

Textbook

Python: The class is based on the first book which is elementary and an introductory textbook on python for absolute beginner, but the second book is recommend. The second book is available on the web.

2. 컴퓨터 과학자처럼 생각하는 법 "Think Python: How to Think Like a Computer Scientist" | Allen B. Downey | 2015

C: There are two must have textbooks. I also recommend you to read C언어 공부법과 책추천(by sunyzero). It gives guide on how to study the language and also emphasizes why the first two books are required textbooks.
