CMSC 12500
Honors Introduction to Computer Programming IPrerequisites: Placement into MATH 16100 or equivalent, or consent of instructor. Can be used to fulfill the mathematical sciences requirement in general education.
Catalog Description: This is the "honors" introduction to computing, based on the famous Scheme book by Abelson & Sussman(s). It covers material more deeply and quickly than 11500. There is more emphasis on computational structure and less time spent on basic programming. Students in this course have such strong mathematical skills that they learn programming in Scheme very quickly. Although we spend little time explaining or exercising basic programming techniques, nevertheless the students in this class write far more code and complete more complex systems than those in 11500. However, no previous programming experience is required.
Instructors: StaffQuarter offered: This course is no longer offered. See CMSC 16100.
