Introduction to Computer Science with Applications in Engineering

(Computer Science 14)

(Identical to Engineering Sciences 14)

Times: 97S, 98S: 12
Instructors: Wilson
Prerequisite: Mathematics 3 and 8 or permission of the instructor. Dist: TAS

This course develops basic concepts in computer science with applications drawn from engineering. Students learn to solve numerical and non-numerical problems by writing programs in a structured high-level language. Emphasis will be placed on the use of top-down design, good style, and analysis of algorithms and graphical output techniques. Subjects covered will include such topics as numerical solution of ordinary differential equations, root finding, deterministic and probabilistic simulation, matrix operations, recursion, regression, searching, sorting, linked lists, and binary trees. Students who have taken Computer Science 14 may substitute it for Computer Science 5 as a prerequisite for any course requiring Computer Science 5. No student may receive credit for both Computer Science 5 and Computer Science 14. Students planning to continue in engineering are advised to take Computer Science 14. Students intending to continue in computer science are advised to take Computer Science 5.
