SCIE 204: Computer Science

In this introductory computer science course, students will examine different conceptual approaches to understanding object-oriented programming principles, concepts and their applications. Paradigms of theory, abstraction, and design will be considered. Broad themes include the design and analysis of algorithms, the handling of data, and common programming patterns and methodologies required in implementations. The course will present open source tools particularly suited to the use of computer science in the art and design context such as as Processing and Pure Data.
