CSCI 1101 Introduction to Computing and Problem Solving 4 CR FALL, SPR Problem solving techniques in computer programming. A structured approach to algorithm development to solve a large number of problems. Students will write pseudocode to develop problem solving skills. They will write simple programs in one or more programming languages. Both minicomputer and microcomputer systems may be used. MNTC: Goal 4. Prereq: MATH 0700 or MATH 0750 with a grade of C or better or scoring at MATH 1100 level on placement exam CSCI 1111 Introduction to Programming in C 4 CR FALL, SPR Problem solving using the C programming language. Topics will include the syntax of the language, operators and expressions, control structures, scoping rules, functions, parameter passing, arrays, strings, pointers, structures, linked lists, type definitions, file handling and libraries. Prereq: CSCI 1101 CSCI 1113 Introduction to Object-Oriented Programming in C++ 3 CR FALL, SPR Programming in C++ and concepts of C++, with an emphasis on programming techniques and object-oriented programming. Prereq: CSCI 1111 or proficiency with the C programming language CSCI 1203 Introduction to Computer Programming in Java 3 CR FALL, SPR Introduction to object-oriented programming using the Java programming language. Use of Java for developing conventional applications and Internet-based applications will be examined. Prereq: CSCI 1111 or proficiency with the C programming language CSCI 1900 Special Topics in Computer Science 1-4 CR ARR Topics of current interest in the Computer Sciences, including specialized language courses and operating system courses. Prereq: topic dependent CSCI 2001 Structure of Computer Programming I 4 CR FALL Introduces students to the fundamental principles of programming and to different programming paradigms, such as message-passing. Students will learn to use the computer language Scheme as a formal way of expressing algorithms and data. Procedures, recursion and iteration will be presented as algorithmic development techniques. Use of abstraction to hide program details and abstract data types will be emphasized throughout the course. Prereq: CSCI 1101 and MATH 1510 CSCI 2002 Structure of Computer Programming II 4 CR SPR Exposes students to the language C++ and to object-oriented programming. Reinforces the concepts presented in CSCI 2001, such as data abstractions, stacks, queues and trees. Introduces simple sorting algorithms. Students will implement data structures and their operations as abstract data types using an object-oriented approach. Prereq: CSCI 2001 and proficiency with the C programming language CSCI 2011 Discrete Structures of Computer Science 4 CR FALL Concepts fundamental to the analysis of algorithms. Topics include logic, sets, methods of proof including mathematical induction, combinatorics, relations, solution of recurrence relations, graphs and trees.
