INT-2210 Computer Science I

Credits 4
Computer science concepts studied from theoretical and practical viewpoints, including program analysis and life cycle design, formal syntactics of Java or other object oriented language, program control structures, subprograms, algorithm design and analysis, recursion, computer architecture, number systems and data storage. Applications studied include numerical methods, creating libraries, character processing, simulating logic circuits, searching, set operations and use of matrices. Object oriented programming is introduced, where object design is stressed.
Prerequisite(s): MAT-2410 and INT-2200 with a grade of C or higher
Formerly (Formerly INT-1210. Students may not receive credit for both INT-1210 and INT-2210.)
3 class/3 lab hours.
