Course Introduction

• Prerequisite：None
• Recommended for： freshmen
• Introduction：

Applied mathematics aims to utilize mathematical theories, methods, and computational tools to solve practical problems in fields such as physics, engineering, biology, economics, and finance. With a solid foundation in mathematics, students can further integrate computer simulation techniques to analyze and resolve various complex problems. In this context, the 'Introduction to Computer Science' course serves as a gateway, providing foundational knowledge in both computer simulation and computing principles.
