Fall Semester
Spring Semester
MATH 211, Calculus II (4)
COSC 320, Data Structures (4)
Data Structures continues the object-oriented paradigm from
Computer Science II. The course presents data structures that are
essential to programming, such as hash tables, stacks, queues,
trees, and graphs, as systems of cooperating objects. This approach
gives more depth to object-oriented design principles. The course
continues to use an industry mainstream language, C++.
MATH 212, Calculus III (4)
COSC 330, Computer Systems
(3)
PHYS 210, Physics I (5)
Computer Systems presents a unified picture of system architecture
based on four layers of abstraction: high-order, assembly, operating
system, and machine. Each layer has its own language: Java, assembly
language, operating system calls, and machine language respectively.
The course emphasizes the relationship between the layers by
exploring the translation process using finite state machines. A
software project to do a translation using the Java programming
language enhances studentsŐ programming skill. The switch from C++
to Java in Computer Systems furthers our goal of students learning
multiple languages in the curriculum.
Physics I introduces students to the most fundamental of the
experimental sciences and to the scientific method. The laws of
physics provide an understanding of how physical systems work and are
the basis of computer modeling of the physical world.
