CSI 3305 - Computational Strategies

Institution:

Baylor University

Subject:

Description:

This course is an introduction to problem solving from an algorithmic point of view. Techniques covered include logic, sequential execution, conditional execution, looping, and functional decomposition. These elements are not taught as an end in themselves, but rather the intent is to equip students to think about how computation can be a valuable and accessible tool to solve problems in their own areas of specialization. Real problems drawn from many different disciplines motivate the basic concepts in the course. Lab-based assignments include solving given problems using a high-level programming language. (Not applicable to a major in computer science.)
