Presentation Transcript

  1. Introduction to Computer Science Shieu-Hong LinMATH/CS Department Chapel

  2. Outlines • What is computer science? • What is programming? • How do I learn in this course?

  3. Who is Dr. Lin?

  4. What is computer science about? • The Science of Computation • Create automatic intelligent machinery for information processing

  5. What is programming? • use a computer language, • to write down instructions (a program ) for the computer, • so that the computer hardware can behave in a way we want

  6. How do I learn in this course? • The Read-Write-Try Cycle • Exposure! Exposure! Exposure! • Try on your own as hard as you can • Seek help when you really get stuck

  7. How do I learn in this course? It often helps a lot if you make friends in the class and learn together.

  8. Use what you learn from the course Geoffrey Knopf (Engineering Physics) May 2013 • “… I used a numerical method called the bisection method which is similar to the binary search algorithm presented in CSCI 105. This improved the performance of the algorithm exponentially.  • Fortunately, I was able to develop the entire software application using the tools I learned from CSCI 105 and 106.

  9. Use what you learn from the course Geoffrey Knopf (Engineering Physics) May 2013 … In exchange for my work, Fabcon has issued me a handsome check. In addition, I am working towards getting the software licensed so that I can sell it to other manufacturing companies. It may help pay for college. All that being said, I have found Biola's computer science classes very applicable.”
