An Introduction to Computers and Informatics in the Health Sciences

This lecture series will provide a practical introduction to computers, critical concepts in computing, and their application to informatics problems in the health sciences arena. My goal is for you to walk away from these sessions with a much deeper understanding of the internal workings of computers armed with an array of practical knowledge that you can apply to your everyday interactions with computer systems. I also intend for this material to lay the foundations necessary for entry into more detailed study on specialized computational topics such as DNA sequence analysis, genomics, and bioinformatics.
