Description
Problem-solving techniques using a computer, top-down decomposition and object-oriented solution methodologies, introduction to programming, programming in the C/C++ language, introduction to UNIX and programming environments, recursion, analysis of execution times, linked data structures, searching, and sorting. This course will be taught in a workshop format with computers in the classroom.
This is the first course for computer science majors who have no programming experience. It is also suitable for other students who desire to make a serious study of program design, implementation, and analysis. This will be a fast moving course and assumes an aptitude for programming. Since it is not clear who has an aptitude for programming, the following may help. People who enjoy algebra and geometry usually have little trouble with programming. The enjoyment of solving puzzles may be an indicator. However, note that sometimes people who hated algebra and geometry nonetheless did well with and enjoyed programming. See the guide for choosing the correct computer science course for more information or talk to the instructor.
