COMP 211
Fall 2013
| Section:
01
02
|
| Certificates: Informatics and Modeling |
This is the first course in a two-course sequence (COMP 211-212) that is the gateway to the computer science major. It is intended for Computer Science majors and others who want an in-depth understanding of programming and Computer Science. Topics to be covered in COMP 211-212 include an introduction to the fundamental ideas of programming in imperative and functional languages; correctness and cost specifications; and proof techniques for verifying specifications.
Specifics such as choice of programming language, which topics are covered in which semesters, etc., will vary according to the tastes of the faculty offering the two courses. |

Additional Requirements and/or Comments:
Because of unexpected demand, the remaining seats in COMP 211 will be granted by Permission of Instructor during Drop/Add, with priority going toward freshman and rising sophomores who intend to major in Computer Science. We are offering a section of COMP 211 in the Spring semester, and we expect to have sufficient capacity in that section for all interested first-year students.
This course is intended for Computer Science majors and others who want an in-depth understanding of programming and expect to continue programming after this course. While there are no prerequisites beyond some familiarity with using computers, it is a significantly more challenging course than COMP 112. Because of the non-programming topics that will be addressed, permission to place out of this course using AP Computer Science credit will be decided on a case-by-case basis by the instructor. |
