- Topics:
- Practical Scientific Programming in C. If time allows we
may discuss the organizational benefits of object oriented programming
and provide a brief introduction to C++. Specifically we will
discuss: C syntax, compilers, makefiles, programming environments
(including debuggers), shell scripts, and general programming style.
- Text:
- The C Programming Language
(2nd edition) by Brian Kernighan and Dennis Ritchie.
- The Practice of Programming by Brian Kernighan and Rob Pike.
- Coding:
- We will have extensive C programming assignments. I
suspect that the initial "Hello World" programs will be very
straightforward for some students.
- Meeting Times:
- The course meets M/T/W/Th 11:00am - 12:20pm in 327B or the MathLab.
- Office Hours:
- I will hold office hours M/T/W/Th 10:00am - 11:00am in the MathLab or my office.
- Prerequisites:
- Scientific maturity, organization, and endurance.
