| CS 2500 - Fundamentals of Computer Science 1 |
|
Introduces the fundamental ideas of computing and the principles of programming. Discusses a systematic approach to word problems, including analytic reading, synthesis, goal setting, planning, plan execution, and testing. Presents several models of computing, starting from nothing more than expression evaluation in the spirit of high school algebra. Assumes no prior programming experience; therefore, suitable for first-year students—majors, and nonmajors alike—who wish to explore the intellectual ideas in the discipline.
