Students will be encouraged to participate in the teaching, perhaps by investigating some special topic in detail or by sharing related material covered in other courses. C is the dominant language of systems and applications development on UNIX platforms and PCs. Programming projects illustrate computational problems, styles, and issues that arise in computer systems development and in all application areas of computation. Emphasis on dynamic storage management, garbage collection, tree, graphs, tables, sorting, and searching. The first of two courses dealing with fundamental concepts of textile materials.
