Objectives
Provide knowledge about fundamental concepts related to programming activity, namely, algorithm, procedural abstraction and data abstraction, programming as construction of abstractions, programming paradigms. After attending the course, students should master the concepts presented and be able to develop programs in a high level programming language, Python.
