CSCI 120 - Introduction to Computing

Type of Course: Lecture, Laboratory
An introduction to computer science, with a focus on the top-down approach to problem solving and computer programming in Java. Algorithms are developed for the solutions to stated problems, then translated into Java and tested on the computer. For the laboratory component, students are expected to write approximately seven programs throughout the course. Specific topics include decision making, logic design, iteration, arrays, and object-oriented design. Satisfies the formal-analysis requirement. This course is a prerequisite for most higher-numbered computer-science courses. Although this course is continued in CSCI121, for many students it can stand on its own as a viable introduction to computer science.

Prerequisites: No prerequisites.

Instructor: Mr. Green, Ms. Han, Mr. Joyce, Staff

When Offered: Offered every semester

Faculty: Frederic Green, Ph.D. Professor and Chair, Department of Mathematics and Computer Science, Li Han, Ph.D. Assistant Professor of Mathematics and Computer Science,
