This workshop is geared specifically for the students of Discrete Mathematics who have to be able to use Python as pat of their techniques for problem-solving and need some quick easy introductions to the world of programming. For starters, browse through the Learn Python site and get your computer system ready with Notepad++, a text editor, and create a bookmark to IDEONE.com which we shall use to run our Python code. Try to get hold of a copy of the text...
Here are some simple examples:
Divide by 2
Swap
GCD
Before proceeding, you may want to install:
Active State Python
Wing IDE101
IDLE
With the Active State Python and WingIde101, you will have a local installation where you can run programs independent of the Internet. You would have needed this to get all the requirements of the GCD problem above.
Finally, we shall look at two problems set for the course project in 2020.
