Curso de Extensão: Economia Computacional e Programação

O uso de ferramentas e linguagem computacional na solução de inúmeros problemas áticos e científicos tem sido uma demanda crescente para todas as áreas científicas e profissões. O Curso de Extensão em Economia Computacional e Programação tem por objetivo proporcionar conhecimentos de programação e manipulação de dados para alunos de graduação do curso de economia. O curso fará uso da linguagem Pyhton, mas o objetivo principal é oportunizar o aprendizado de lógica computacional, mais do que a linguagem em si.
