We examine some of the major topics in the discipline of computer science.
Students learn a high-level programming language as a major part of the course.
Particular attention is paid to the Internet and the World Wide Web. Three lectures and one 50-min lab each week. No prerequisite, but this is a pretty technical course. Students who want to learn about computer science in a fairly serious way, but want or need to limit their study to a single course , can get a good overview of the state of computer science in 2001 by taking CS 39. 39 is a pretty high number.
