Document Summary

The process of developing algorithms to solve problems. The process of developing computer programs to express those algorithms. Other topics from computer science and its applications. Weeks 0-4: computational problem solving and "functional" programming. Weeks 4-7: a look "under the hood" (digital logic, circuits, etc. ) In addition, short articles on other cs-related topics. To give you a sense of the richness of computer science. Complete by 10 a. m. of the day of lecture (unless noted otherwise) You work should allow that you"ve prepared for lecture. Gets you ready for the lecture questions and discussions. Pre=lecture stuff - posted 36 hours before lecture. Will help you prepare for and get started on the assignments. Part 1 due by 11:59 p. m. on thursday. Part 2 due by 11:59 p. m. on sunday. Final project (worth 1. 5 times an ordinary assignment) Can work on some (but not all) problems with a partner.
