This material will be learned through a combination of reading assignments, analysis assignments and program writing. One objective of the course is to further develop your programming skill. There will be 4 programming assignments. Many of the meetings of this course will include lab time, during which you will practice programming hands-on. Bring your laptop and book to every class.
