Designer for Introduction to C++ online course

Indiana University, Bloomington•  May 2016 - December 2018

• In a start-up environment without an established guideline, provided comprehensive explanation C/C++ knowledge so that students could read the C/C++ code embedded in R or Python via Rcpp or Cython. Together with enough exercises, students can learn to not only read and understand the code but also modify the code to fit their purpose. • Included step-by-step instructions for how to code and debug in Visual Studio 2013, and explained the idea behind basic types, control structures, functions, pointers and memory management, basic object-oriented programming, and basic STL.

Designer for Basic Linear Algebra and Calculus with Python online course
