Description:

08F: 10 09W: 11 09F, 10W: Arrange Motivated by applications in the arts, sciences, social sciences, and computer systems, this course develops skills in solving problems computationally. Topics covered include representation (how to capture computationally the objects and processes of a problem), abstraction (how to build high-level, multi-purpose toolkits for manipulating representations), recursion and modularity (how to break problems into subproblems and combine solutions), reasoning (how to understand what a computation is doing), and concurrency (how to deal with multiple simultaneous processes). These concepts are taught within a functional programming language that supports them well; they are applied in a series of programming labs solving application problems. Prerequisite: Computer Science 5 or Advanced Placement. Dist: TLA. Drysdale.
