The demand for programmers is ever-increasing. This course will equip you with the technical and practical skills to meet this demand, whilst developing your understanding of the impact computers have on our lives. The key features of this course encourage an emphasis on computational thinking and the mathematical skills used to express computational laws and processes, such as, for example, Boolean algebra/logic, and comparison of the complexity of algorithms. If you have a high mathematical aptitude, strong logical reasoning skills, and a keen desire to understand computing fundamentals, then you should consider this course.
