Dive into the fundamentals of programming through a comprehensive lecture series covering essential Python concepts. Begin with an introduction to computation and expressions, then progress through logical operators, functions, variables, and flow control. Explore loops, iteration, strings, lists, and advanced topics like recursion, testing, and modules. Learn about object-oriented programming, data structures such as tuples, sets, and dictionaries, and delve into number representation. Benefit from multiple tutorials and exam preparation sessions to reinforce your understanding of programming principles.
