Spring 2024 intake
Based on your level, we offer two comprehensive paths – Python & Mathematics or Mathematics & Algorithms – that cover a wide range of topics. Here’s the breakdown:
-
Python & Mathematics
Course – Elementary, my Dear Python
This course provides a strong base for understanding essential programming concepts and hands-on experience, setting you on the path to becoming a confident coder. We'll explore the basics of Python, a beginner-friendly programming language, starting from basic operations and ending with classes. If you're new to programming, this course is the perfect starting point for your coding journey. If you already have some experience, you’ll still find some new and interesting problems.
Course – The Art of Reasoning
This course is your friendly entrance to the world of clear thinking! You’ll learn how to understand mathematical language, create desired constructions, explore logic puzzles, and begin to uncover patterns in processes. This is the perfect starting point for students new to convincing reasoning, helping you become a confident problem solver from the ground up.

Course – Algorithms and Data Structures
In this course, we take a friendly journey into the world of computers and coding. You'll discover cool stuff like how to measure the efficiency of programs (don't worry, we'll keep it simple), learn how computers work “behind the scenes”, sort things with the help of algorithms, use different structures to efficiently process data, and even unlock the secrets of making searching super fast. Join us and take the steps to become a coding expert!
Two more courses are coming soon! Stay tuned for additional opportunities to develop your skills and explore new topics.
Course – Graph Theory
This comprehensive course in Graph Theory provides you with a solid foundation in understanding and analyzing graphs, a fundamental concept in mathematics and computer science. The course covers a range of topics starting from basic notions and up to algorithms on graphs. By the end of this course, you’ll have a strong grasp of graph theory approaches and the ability to apply them to real-world scenarios.
Course – Number Theory
In this course, we'll delve into the fundamental concepts of Number Theory. We'll start from divisibility and move through different properties of remainders until we reach applications such as RSA encryption essential for cryptography. If you're new to Number Theory, this course provides an understanding of the essential principles behind integers and their practical applications. And if you already have some experience, a new point of view on the Number Theory will help you become a better problem-solver.
