CMPUT 174 - Introduction to the Foundations of Computation I

3 units (fi 6)(EITHER, 3-0-3)

CMPUT 174 and CMPUT 175 use a problem-driven approach to introduce the fundamental ideas of Computing Science. Emphasis is on the underlying process behind the solution, independent of programming language or style. Basic notions of state, control flow, data structures, recursion, modularization, and testing are introduced through solving simple problems in a variety of domains such as text analysis, map navigation, game search, simulation, and cryptography. Students learn to program by reading and modifying existing programs as well as writing new ones. No prior programming experience is necessary. Prerequisite: Math 30, 30-1, or 30-2. Credit cannot be obtained for both CMPUT 174 and CMPUT 274. Credit cannot be obtained for both CMPUT 174 and ENCMP 100.

STAT 265 - Probability and Statistics I

3 units (fi 6)(FIRST, 3-0-0)

Sample space, events, combinatorial probability, conditional probability, independent events, Bayes Theorem, random variables, discrete random variables, expected values, moment generating function, inequalities, continuous distributions, multivariate distributions, independence. Corequisite: One of MATH 209, 214 or 217. Note: Credit can be obtained in at most two of STAT 181, STAT 281, or STAT 265.
