• CSCI-UA.0002-​001
  (3460) Intro To Computer Programming (No Prior Experience)  Amos Bloomberg MTWR 11:10-1:15PM Online Additional information: Session I & II (5/19/25 - 8/13/25)
  

  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
  (3424) Intro to Web Design & Computer Principles  Amos Bloomberg MTWR 9:00-11:05AM Online Additional information: Session I & II (5/19/25 - 8/13/25)
  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.

• CSCI-UA.0101-​001
  (3443) Intro To Computer Science  Hilbert Gene Locklear TR 11:10-1:15PM 60 Fifth Ave 150 Additional information: Session I & II (5/19/25 - 8/13/25)
  

  How to design algorithms to solve problems and how to translate these algorithms into working computer programs. Experience is acquired through projects in a high-level programming language. Intended primarily for computer science majors but also suitable for students of other scientific disciplines. Programming assignments.

  
  
  Prerequisites: Introduction to Computer Programming (No Prior Experience) (CSCI-UA 2) or Introduction to Computer Programming (Limited Prior Experience) (CSCI-UA 3), or a score of 3 on the AP Computer Science exam (scores of 4 and 5 are acceptable prerequisites for students who wish to take CSCI-UA 101 before entering CSCI-UA 102; they will forfeit the AP credit), or departmental permission assessed by placement exam.
• CSCI-UA.0102-​001
  (3455) Data Structures  Douglas Moody TR 2:10-4:15PM Silv 208 Additional information: Session I & II (5/19/25 - 8/13/25)
  

  Use and design of data structures, which organize information in computer memory. Stacks, queues, linked lists, binary trees: how to implement them in a high-level language, how to analyze their effect on algorithm efficiency, and how to modify them. Programming assignments.

  
  
  Prerequisites: Introduction to Computer Science (CSCI-UA 101), or a score of 4 or 5 on the AP Computer Science examination.
• CSCI-UA.0201-​001
  (2467) Computer Systems Organization  Douglas Moody TR 5:45-7:50PM 60 Fifth Ave 150 Additional information: Session I & II (5/19/25 - 8/13/25)
  

  Covers the internal structure of computers, machine (assembly) language programming, and the use of pointers in high-level languages. Topics include the logical design of computers, computer architecture, the internal representation of data, instruction sets, and addressing logic, as well as pointers, structures, and other features of high-level languages that relate to assembly language. Programming assignments are in both assembly language and other languages.

  
  
  Prerequisites: Data Structures (CSCI-UA 102).
• CSCI-UA.0310-​001
  (3467) Basic Algorithms  Areeba Ikram TR 2:10-4:15PM Online Additional information: Session I & II (5/19/25 - 8/13/25)
  

  Introduction to the study of algorithms. Presents two main themes: designing appropriate data structures and analyzing the efficiency of the algorithms that use them. Algorithms studied include sorting, searching, graph algorithms, and maintaining dynamic data structures. Homework assignments, not necessarily involving programming.

  
  
  Prerequisites: Data Structures (CSCI-UA 102); Discrete Mathematics (MATH-UA 120); and either Calculus I (MATH-UA 121) OR Mathematics for Economics I (MATH-UA 211).
