Computer Science

Computer Science is a discipline that involves the understanding and design of computers and computational processes. Coursera's Computer Science catalogue provides comprehensive knowledge of how computer systems work, from the basic elements of hardware and software to the complex networks that make up the internet. You'll learn about data structures, algorithms, computer architecture, operating systems, and various programming languages. Further, you'll grasp the principles of machine learning and artificial intelligence, and understand the ethical and legal implications of these technologies. This skill set can enable you to become an effective software engineer, data scientist, system analyst, or IT manager.
