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 Sciences, Computer Engineering, or Mathematics.
Course work involves writing and running between five and eight computer programs.
No prior experience with computers is necessary or assumed. 105 or the equivalent. This course is an introduction to programming for people who intend to use the computer as a tool in their profession.
