CMSC 11000
Multimedia Programming as an Interdisciplinary Art I (=ISHU 23500)Prerequisites: MATH 10600, or placement into 13100 or equivalent; or consent of instructor. CMSC 11000 may be used to fulfill the general education requirement in the mathematical sciences.
Catalog Description: Like other classic Chicago general education courses, this sequence (CMSC 11000 & 11100)provides students with both practical programming skills and core ideas in computer science in interdisciplinary applications. Our ideas of the arts, the character of "images" and "texts," and the ways we form communities are being transformed by the conjunction of media and computing (e.g., QuickTime, scripting). Students program on an Apple Macintosh using an advanced programming language. This course presents techniques of problem solving, program coding, algorithm construction, and debugging using a high-level prototyping environment. We treat programs as genres of argument.
Instructors: W. SternerQuarter offered: Winter. Not offered 2005-06.
