There are 4 modules in this course

This week we will begin our discussions by defining the boundaries and limitations of problems and their solutions.

This week we will explore adapting problem-solving approaches into computational methods.

This week we will discuss judgment and decision making as a different kind of problem-solving and explore how heuristics are used for these tasks.

In this module, you will test your knowledge on methods for solving problems.
