This course is an introduction to writing programs relevant to scientific, engineering, and data applications, including gaining the ability to convert an algorithm into code.  There will be no formal statistics theory, just its application through the student's code or through the use of packages available.  The language will be Python.  We will use Python 2.7 with some allusions to Python 3.+.  No previous experience in programming is required.
