This course introduces students to the practice of software development. Students learn the fundamentals of programming, algorithm development, and object-orientated design principles.

The laboratory course complements CS110 by using programming exercises to reinforce concepts and practices covered in CS110 lectures.

This course is a continuation of CS110/111. CS210 expands on object-oriented design practices, introduces simple data structures, and explores sorting and searching algorithms. Advanced programming techniques such as recursion and unit testing are also covered. Class lab time is used to reinforce concepts and practices covered in lectures.

This course provides the theoretical foundation of modern computer hardware and software. It provides that foundation in the form of mathematical tools and concepts geared toward computer science applications. Topics covered include: logic and set theory; functions and relations; simple algorithm analysis; and an introduction to graph theory.

This course introduces students to digital computer organization and programming at the assembly level. Students learn the connection between Boolean logic and hardware circuits, the operation of combinational and sequential circuitry comprising the hardware of a modern computer, and the interaction between the hardware and software processes.

• CS210 Computer Science II

A more complete and detailed study of data structures. Lists, queues, stacks and trees are reviewed, but with more emphasis on the mathematical analysis of their properties. Advanced data structures such as balanced trees, graphs and heaps are covered, as are specific algorithms that use these structures efficiently. General algorithm techniques and their analysis are also covered. Class lab time is used to introduce new concepts and explore ones described during lecture.

This course introduces students to operating system concepts while facilitating the synthesis of knowledge related to digital computer organization, assembly language, data structures, and software development. Students learn how operating systems manage processes, provide mechanism for inter process communication and synchronization, and manage computer resources such as memory, processor ti me, and files. Students apply their learning by writing and/or modifying operating system code.

This course provides an introduction to the differential and integral calculus. Topics include: the concepts of function, limit, continuity, derivative, definite and indefinite integrals, and an introduction to transcendental functions.

This course is a continuation of M151. Some of the topics of M151 are revisited at a higher mathematical level. Topics include: limits, differentiation, applications of the definite integral, inverse trigonometric functions, techniques of integration, improper integrals, indeterminate forms, numerical methods for integration and approximation, curves in the plane given parametrically, polar coordinates, and vectors in 2-space and 3-space.

This course is the first half of a two-semester introductory, calculus-based, physics course for all students planning to enter one of the scientific professions. It covers the fundamental principles of mechanics, oscillations, and fluid mechanics.

One three-hour laboratory is held each week covering topics studied in the lectures.

The course covers Boolean algebra, simple gates, combinational and sequential logic circuits, counters, shift registers, state machines, astable multivibrators, encoding, decoding, multiplexing, and conversion between analog and digital representations. Coursework involves both circuit simulation and actual hardware implementations. The course targets applications in the natural sciences, mathematics, and computer science. Three hours of lecture and one three-hour laboratory per week.

• P211 Introductory Physics II
• P212 Introductory Physics II Laboratory

The course covers the PIC18F4520 microcontroller as a paradigmatic microprocessor. A brief survey of number systems, logic gates and Boolean algebra are followed by a study of the structure of microprocessors and the architecture of microprocessor systems. Programming microprocessors and the use of an assembler and a higher-level language (C) is covered. Peripheral interface devices are studied along with some wired logic circuits. Students gain experience through the use of microprocessor simulators and hardware implementations.
