Front Door

Welcome to the Fall 1997 session of Grinnell College's CSC 152, Fundamentals of Computer Science II, which is described relatively well in the official blurb. My own take on this course is that we'll be expanding your knowledge of Computer Science and of computer programming, while emphasizing the development and analysis of common data structures and algorithms. We will be using Java as our development language.

In an attempt to provide up-to-date information, and to spare a few trees, I am making this as much of a "paperless" course as I can. You may also want to read the basic instructions for using this course web.

Meets: MWF 8:00, Tu 11:00 in Science 2417.

Instructor: Samuel A. Rebelsky, Science 2427. Office hours MWF 9:00-10:00.

Grading: Homework: 40%; Exams: 40%; Final: 20%

Book: Bailey, Duane (1998). Java Structures: Data Structures in Java for the Principled Programmer, Beta Edition. Dubuque, IA: McGraw-Hill.
