AUCSC 111 - Introduction to Computational Thinking and Problem Solving

★ 3 (fi 6)(EITHER, 3-0-3)

An introduction to computational thinking, problem solving, and the fundamental ideas of computing. Topics include algorithms, abstraction, and modelling; the syntax and semantics of a high-level language (e.g. Python); fundamental programming concepts and data structures, including simple containers (variables, arrays, lists, strings, dictionaries); sequencing, conditionals and repetition; documentation and style; object-oriented programming; exceptions and error handling; graphical user interfaces and event-driven programming; recursion; simple algorithm analysis and run- time efficiency. Prerequisite: Mathematics 30-1. Note: Credit may be obtained for only one of AUCSC 111, AUCSC 113 (2023), and AUCSC 120 (2019).

AUCSC 211 - Data Structures and Algorithms

★ 3 (fi 6)(EITHER, 3-0-0)

An introduction to object-oriented design and programming; algorithm analysis; data structures and container classes including arrays, lists, arraylists, stacks, queues, user-defined structures and an introduction to trees, along with associated algorithms such as insertion, removal, sorting and retrieval; introduction to recursion. Prerequisite: AUCSC 111 (2021), AUCSC 113 or AUSCI 135. Corequisite: AUSCI 235. Note: Credit may be obtained for only one of AUCSC 112 (2021) and AUCSC 211.

AUSCI 235 - Practices in Data Structures and Algorithms

★ 3 (fi 6)(EITHER, 0-0-3)

Object-oriented design and programming in Java with experience in data structures and container classes using arrays, lists, array lists, stacks, queues, user-defined structures and an introduction to trees, along with associated algorithms such as insertion, removal, sorting and retrieval; introduction to examples in algorithm analysis; introduction to recursion. Prerequisites: One of AUCSC 111 (2021), AUCSC 113, or AUSCI 135. Corequisite: AUCSC 211. Note: Credit may be obtained for only one of AUCSC 112 (2021) and AUSCI 235.
