When the course begins on Monday (10/1), you will be joining tens of thousands of other students from around the world in MIT's newest online course. In addition to learning the basics of computer programming in Python, and the fundamentals of computation, you will get hands-on experience implementing a variety of Python programs and using powerful Python libraries.
