I'd like to know what you expect from this course.
-
We'll Go over the syllabus, roll, talk about the
class, what is Computer Science, stuff like that
-
We'll talk about computing resources available at Edinboro
& more specifically at the CS department.
-
If time we'll start with Introduction to Computer
Science (Chapter 1 - Computer Science Illuminated)
Announcement:
- Many members of the computer science club have been working on the computer science wiki, you can find a like for this wiki at the club site www.eupcs.org |

Also answers any questions
Study Guide |
Exam #1 September 30th - Chapters 1 through 5 inclusive. |
|
10/05 |
Problem Solving and
Algorithm Design (Chapter 6.1-6.3 – Computer Science Illuminated
Problem Solving
Methodology (Chapter 6.4-6.6 – Computer Science Illuminated) - talk about program design. |
Ok, no class today, I know, I know your
all disappointed
But! I have a project for you:
Write the Pseudocode for a program that
calculates the standard deviation of a group of numbers. Look
here (or use your own
source) for how standard deviation works. Include variable
definitions. Lets say there will be 10 numbers you need to compute
standard deviation for.
Bring you solution to class on Monday to
be discussed and collected. |
|
10/12 |
Finish Chapter 6 and Go over Pseudocode and Algorithm
Design
|
Meet in
Dundee lab
We'll implement our solution to our Standard Deviation Problem
We might start
Chapter 8
Do the Fahrenheit to Celsius
conversion program for next time. |

10/19 |
** Meet in
Dundee **
Go over the
Fahrenheit to Celsius conversion program
Low-Level Languages
(Chapter 7 – Computer Science Illuminated)
Pep/7 Simulator
Write your name
1. Convert your first name to Hex
2. Load the instructions into the Pep 7 Simulator's memory, use the 11100000 op code for loading direct, which is EO in hex.
3. for example load:
E0 00 44 into the 1st 3 bytes of memory. to make it put a 'D' to the output
4. Do this for every letter in your first name
5. Run the program.

- Need to catch up with Ch 8 & Ch 9
Abstract Data Types (Chapter 9 - Computer Science Illuminated) |
Continue with algorithm development in Pseudocode: 1. Fill up an Array from a file
2. Add an element to that Array
3. Remove an element from the Array
4. Add an element to a Sorted Array |
