MAT 271. Introduction to Computing and Programming

Computer problem solving and programming in a high level language such as C++ are introduced. Algorithmic problem solving and basic programming techniques are emphasized. Problems are solved using methods such as top-down design and stepwise iterative refinement. Programming topics include basic data types, operators and expressions, control structures, functions, arrays and pointers. Students are introduced to a modern program development environment in the computer lab and are expected to complete several programming projects. (Offered every semester.)
Prerequisite: English 101. In addition: Mathematics 105 or the equivalent.
