This is the first course in Computer Science for prospective concentrators. Students will be required to attend recitations and to prepare a number of computer programs of increasing complexity. Most of the programs will support the concepts that were introduced, and will be mainly non-numeric in nature. This course is not intended to be simply a course in programming. It is intended for people who will major in Computer Science, Computer Engineering, or Mathematics.
Course work involves writing and running between five and eight computer programs.
CS majors must complete course with a grade of B- or better. No prior experience with computers is necessary or assumed. If enrollment is greater than class size, a screening exam will be administered. Elementary Programming Concepts. 105 or the equivalent.
