Document Summary
Labs- 3115 and 3341 herzberg, 8:30 am-4:30 pm weekdays. Computational thinking- process of taking a problem and/or solution and putting it into a format that can easily and clearly be executed by a computer (or a person). Decomposition- breaking a problem into smaller, more manageable problems. Pattern recognition- identifying similarities in and amongst problems. Abstraction- focusing only on the important information, ignoring the rest. Algorithms- creating a step-by-step solution to the problem- or using one that already exists. How photography went digital: an introduction to the digital world. When we see an object, light travels from object through lens of our eye and is projected on back of eye on retina, image is inverted, brain flips it upright. Camera obscura- light reflected on paper and drawn, but no one tried to capture the light. Black and white film- film that is exposed to the most light turns darkest when developed.
