Computer Science 5 - Introduction to Computer Science

Institution:

Dartmouth College

Subject:

Description:

08F, 09S: 2 09F, 10S: Arrange This course provides an introduction to fundamental concepts and techniques of computer science. The framework is an object-oriented programming language. Both programming and algorithm analysis are covered. Programming topics include basics of data and control; problem decomposition; recursion; simple graphics; objects and abstraction; and arrays. Good programming style is emphasized throughout the course. Algorithm topics include searching, sorting, and linked lists. In past years Engineering Sciences 20 could substitute for Computer Science 5 as a prerequisite for Computer Science courses, but since its content has changed this is no longer the case. Students considering the computer science major, or majors modified with computer science, or courses that require Computer Science 5 as a prerequisite should take Computer Science 5 instead of Engineering Sciences 20.
