MITx-6.00.2x

Instructor: John Guttag

A collection of Problem Sets for MITx: 6.00.2x Introduction to Computational Thinking and Data Science. I took this online course on edX platform during March-May, 2021. Each of the Problem Set deals with a real-world problem such as spreading of viruses in a patient, modelling of temperature in different areas to find evidence of global warming, etc. Below you can see some interesting visualization of each Problem Set that I solved.πŸ™‚ (Certificate of Completion)

DISCLAIMER: Please do not simply copy the code without trying to solve the problems yourself in the first place. The author reserves all rights but does not be liable in any event (e.g., plagiarism) caused by the use of the program. Remember that one can only learn programming by doing it. Have fun coding!πŸ˜ƒ

Overview

This course is the second part of MITx's Computational Thinking using Python XSeries Program
