| Course Cluster: Applied Data Science Certificate, Integrated Design, Engineering & Applied Science Minor |
This is the first course in a two-course sequence (COMP211-212) that is the gateway to the computer science major. It is intended for prospective computer science majors and others who want an in-depth understanding of programming and computer science. Topics to be covered in COMP211-212 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 courses. |

Additional Requirements and/or Comments:
Though the content of COMP 211 is self-contained, in the past, many students with neither previous programming experience nor a strong mathematical background have struggled with starting directly in COMP 211, as opposed to taking a 100-level COMP class beforehand. To
inquire about skipping the 100-level class, please submit a pre-req override request explaining your programming and/or math background and any special motivation for starting with COMP 211. |
