CSS 342 A - Spring 2007

This fast-paced course sequence (with CSS 343) is intended to bring entering students' backgrounds up to a level where they can take Junior and Senior level CSS courses. By the end of this quarter, you will be familiar with much of the C++ language and the basics of object-oriented programming. You will understand how to analyze a problem and design a solution. You will know many basic data structures, algorithms, and the tradeoffs among memory, running time, and implementation time associated with them. Topics include: data abstraction, recursion, computational complexity and algorithm analysis, linked lists, stacks, queues, trees, searching and sorting, templates, and introductory object-oriented programming and design. Additional discrete math topics are covered including number bases and representation, mathematical induction, propositional and predicate logic.

Lecture on Wednesday, April 11: Go directly to the lecture on
Katrina & Beyond: Computational Challenges in Coastal Modeling.
5:30pm Reception in UW2 Lobby
6:00pm Lecture in UW2-005
If there's 30 minutes or more left when the Katrina lecture ends, then there will be 342 lecture in UW1-041. I will go back to UW1-041 no matter how long is left. Be sure to give me your lab2 hardcopy either at the Katrina lecture or you can leave it in UW1-041.

Note: The CSS windows lab is UW1-310, the linux lab is UW1-320. The main general lab is in UW1-102; quiet general lab is UW2-030.

Remember, do not allow non-CSS students in the labs (most importantly so they will not consume our resources). If resource consumption is abused, your lab fee will be increased.
