Study group for MIT Computational Thinking on EdX

16th August, 2018
Last date to join: 31st August, 2018

Hi guys, I'm organizing a study group on slack that will discuss the problems from the course that will start next week on EdX called Computational Thinking by MIT. It is a great intro to data science apparently and it assumes only some background in python and high school math. We will have 20min talks with the members on skype to have a more personal feel to the group so if you are interested PM me with email so I can add you to it.

Description

6.00.2x will teach you how to use computation to accomplish a variety of goals and provides you with a brief introduction to a variety of topics in computational problem solving . This course is aimed at students with some prior programming experience in Python and a rudimentary knowledge of computational complexity. You will spend a considerable amount of time writing programs to implement the concepts covered in the course. For example, you will write a program that will simulate a robot vacuum cleaning a room or will model the population dynamics of viruses replicating and drug treatments in a patient's body.

Topics covered include:

  • Advanced programming in Python 3
  • Knapsack problem, Graphs and graph optimization
  • Dynamic programming
  • Plotting with the pylab package
  • Random walks
  • Probability, Distributions
  • Monte Carlo simulations
  • Curve fitting
  • Statistical fallacies

Frequently asked questions

Yes. Our study groups (all of them) are free to join

You join the group and study the MOOC together on a schedule. The exact dates, deadlines, are created by the host

This depends on the host of your group. Some groups have weekly video calls for accountability + doubt solving.

Moocable is a community where you can find study partners, mentors, or people to collaborate on projects. It's designed for people who want to upskill, but struggle with self-learning. Users often post about their skills, goals, and what they're looking to learn or work on, and others can respond to form partnerships or groups. You can join our community
