CSCI-GA.1170-001
(1661) Fundamental Algorithms Ernest Davis W 6:00-8:20PM CIWW 101

Course Description:

Reviews a number of important algorithms, with emphasis on correctness and efficiency. The topics covered include solution of recurrence equations, sorting algorithms, selection, binary search trees and balanced-tree strategies, tree traversal, partitioning, graphs, spanning trees, shortest paths, connectivity, depth-first and breadth-first search, dynamic programming, and divide-and-conquer techniques.

Prerequisites: At least one year of experience with a high-level language such as Pascal, C, C++, or Java; and familiarity with recursive programming methods and with data structures (arrays, pointers, stacks, queues, linked lists, binary trees).
CSCI-GA.2340-001
MATH-GA 2050
(1475) Elements Of Discrete Mathematics * Matthew Harper Langston W 6:00-8:20PM CIWW 102

Course Description:
Introduction to the central mathematical concepts that arise in computer science. Emphasis is on proof and abstraction. Topics include proof techniques; combinatorics; sets, functions, and relations; discrete structures; order of magnitude analysis; formal logic; formal languages and automata.

Prerequisites: May not be taken by students who have received a grade of B or better in CSCI-GA 1170.
CSCI-UA.0002-001
(2727) Intro To Computer Programming Amos Bloomberg
Office Hours MTWR 9:30-11:05AM CIWW 101

Course Description:

An introduction to the fundamentals of computer programming, which is the foundation of computer science. Students design, write, and debug computer programs. No knowledge of programming is assumed.

Prerequisites: Three years of high school mathematics or equivalent. No prior computing experience is assumed. Students with any programming experience should consult with the department before registering. Students with any reported score on the Computer Science AP examination cannot enroll in this course; Albert will block them from registering for it. Students who have taken or are taking Introduction to Computer Science (CSCI-UA 101) will not receive credit for this course. Does not count toward the computer science major; serves as the prerequisite for students with no previous programming experience who want to continue into CSCI-UA 101 and pursue the major. Students may not receive credit for both CSCI-UA 2 and CSCI-UA 3.

CSCI-UA.0004-001
(3191) Intro to Web Design & Computer Principles Amos Bloomberg
Office Hours MTWR 11:30-1:05PM CIWW 101

Course Description:
Introduces students to both the practice of web design and the basic principles of computer science. The practice component covers not only web design but also current graphics and software tools. The principles section includes an overview of hardware and software, the history of computers, and a discussion of the impact of computers and the Internet.

Prerequisites: Three years of high school mathematics or equivalent. No prior computing experience is assumed. Students with computing experience should consult with the department before registering.
