-----Unit 1:Programming and Computational Thinking-

-----Revision of the basics of Python

-----Functions: scope, parameter passing, mutable/immutable properties of data objects, pass arrays to functions, return values, functions using libraries: mathematical, and string functions. 25 15

May- June

----- File handling: open and close a file, read, write, and append to a file, standard input, output, and error streams, relative and absolute paths.

-----Using Python libraries: create and import Python libraries

MONTHLY TEST-1 (20-28 June )- Covering Syllabus up to 9th May-2019 15 10

July

-----Recursion: simple algorithms with recursion: factorial ,Fibonacci numbers; recursion on arrays: binary search

----- Idea of efficiency: performance defined as inversely proportional to the wall clock time, count the number of operations apiece of code is performing, and measure the time taken by a program. Example: take two different programs for the same problem, and understand how the efficient one takes less time.

----- Data visualization using Pyplot: line chart, pie chart and bar chart.

MONTHLY TEST-2 (26-31 July )- Covering Syllabus up to July-2019 30 20

August

----- Data-structures: lists, stacks, queues.

Unit 2: Computer Network(CN)

----- Structure of a network: Types of networks: local area and wide area (web and internet),new technologies such as cloud and IoT, public vs. private cloud, wired and wireless networks; concept to client and server.

----- Network device such as a NIC, switch, hub, router, and access point.

----- Network stack: amplitude and frequency modulation, collision in wireless networks, error checking, and the notion of a MAC address, main idea of routing. IP addresses :(v4 and v6), routing table, router, DNS, and web URLs, TCP: basic idea of retransmission, and rate modulation when there is congestion (analogy to a road network), Protocols:2G,3G,4G, Wi-Fi. What makes a protocol have a higher bandwidth?

----- Basic network tools: trace route, ping, ipconfig, nslookup, who is, speed-test.

----- Application layer: HTTP(basic idea),working of email, secure communication: 10 15 10 10 Encryption and certificates(HTTPS),network applications: remote desktop, Remote login, HTTP, FTP, SCP, SSH, POP/IMAP, SMTP, VoIP, NFC.

----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

 Recursively find the factorial of a natural number.

 Read a file line by line and print it.

 Remove all the lines that contain the character `a' in a file and write it to another file.  Write a Python functions in (x,n) to calculate the value of sin(x) using its Taylor series expansion up to n terms. Compare the values of sin(x) for different values of n with the correct value.

 Write a random number generator that generates random numbers between 1 and 6 (simulates a dice).

 Write a recursive code to find the sum of all elements of a list.

 Write a recursive code to compute the nth Fibonacci number.

 Write a Python program to implement a stack and queue using a list data-structure.

 Write a recursive Python program to test if a string is a palindrome or not.

 Write a Python program to plot the function y=x2 using the pyplot or matplotlib libraries.

 Create a graphical application that accepts user inputs, performs some operation on them, and then writes the output on the screen. For example, write a small calculator. Use the tkinter library.

 Open a webpage using the urllib library.

 Compute EMIs for a loan using the numpy or scipy libraries.  Take a sample of 10 phishing e-mails and find the most common words. Data Management: SQL & Web Server:

 Find the min, max, sum, and average of the marks in a student marks table.  Find the total number of customers from each country in the table (customerID, customername, country) using groupby.

 Write a SQL query to order the (studentID, marks) table in descending order of the marks.

 Integrate SQL with Python by importing the MySQL module

 Write a Django based webserver to parse a user request (POST), and write it to a CSV file.
