  • CS 112: Computation for the Sciences

    2.00 Credits
    Wellesley College

    Hildreth An introduction to computer programming that provides the tools necessary for students to use computers effectively in scientific work, including physical sciences, biological sciences, medicine, mathematics, psychology and economics. Students learn to write software to solve problems, visualize and analyze data, perform computer simulations, and implement and test computational models that arise in a wide range of scientific disciplines. The course introduces MATLAB, an extensive and widely used technical computing environment with advanced graphics, visualization and analysis tools, and a rich high-level programming language. Students are required to attend an addi-tional two-hour laboratory section each week. Students can receive Mathematical Modeling distribution credit for only one of 111 and 112. Prerequisite: None. No prior background with computers is expected. Distribution: Mathematical Modeling. Does not satisfy the laboratory requirement. Semester: Spring Unit: 1.0

  • CS 114: The Socio-Technological Web

    3.00 Credits
    Wellesley College

    Metaxas As more and more people use the technologies and services made available from computer science, online environments like Facebook, Second Life, MySpace, Wikipedia, blogs, and open source development communities, have been flourishing. It is becoming clear that problems existing in our real world transfer and become amplified in the virtual world created by our interconnectivity. This course will start by studying the structure of the traditional Web and its recent successor, the Social Web, and will focus on issues of virtual identity, per-sonal and group privacy, trust evaluation and propagation, online security, critical thinking, online propaganda, googlearchy, fraud and manipulation, restricted resources, class differences, self-perception, and decision-making. Students are required to attend an additional 70-minute discussion section each week. Students can receive Mathematical Modeling distribution credit for only one of 110 and 114. Prerequisite: None Distribution: Mathematical Modeling Semester: Fall Unit: 1.0

  • CS 115: Robotic Design Studio

    3.00 Credits
    Wellesley College

    Berg, Turbak (Computer Science) NOT OFFERED IN 2009-10. In this intensive course, students are introduced to engineering principles while designing and assembling robots out of LEGO parts, sensors, motors, and tiny computers. Fundamental robotics skills are learned in the context of studying and modifying a simple robot known as SciBorg. Then, working in small teams, students design and build their own robots for display at a robot exhibition. These projects tie together aspects of a surprisingly wide range of disciplines, including computer science, physics, math, biolo-gy, psychology, engineering, and art. Students may register for either PHYS 115 or CS 115 and credit will be granted accordingly. Not offered every year. Subject to Dean's Office approval. Prerequisite: None Distribution: Natural and Physical Science Semester: N/O Unit: 0.5

  • CS 220: Human-Computer Interaction

    3.00 Credits
    Wellesley College

    Shaer Human-Computer Interaction is one of the areas that have transformed the way we use computers in the last 30 years. Topics include methodology for designing and testing user interfaces, interaction styles (command line, menus, graphical user interfaces, virtual reality, tangible user interfaces), interaction techniques (including use of voice, gesture, eye movements), design guidelines, and user interface software tools. Students will design a user interface, program a prototype, and test the result for usability. Prerequisite: 110 or 111 Distribution: Mathematical Modeling Semester: Spring Unit: 1.0

    2.00 Credits
    Wellesley College

    Metaxas, Tjaden An introduction to techniques and building blocks for organizing large programs. Topics include: modules, abstract data types, recursion, algorithmic efficiency, and the use and implementation of standard data structures and algorithms, such as lists, trees, graphs, stacks, queues, priority queues, tables, sorting, and searching. Students become familiar with these concepts through weekly programming as-signments using the Java programming language. Students are required to attend an additional two-hour laboratory section each week. Prerequisite: 111 or permission of the instructor.
