To develop the apps we use every day, you need to understand how computers ‘think.’ In this course students will learn to mentally simulate how a computer operates and read and write simple computer programs. Students will gain an understanding of how information is stored and computations are performed. This is an excellent pathway into computer programming for those with no prior experience. May not be used to fulfill computer science requirements in a Computer Science Honours, Joint Honours, or Major program. May not be taken once in a declared Computer Science Honours, Joint Honours, or Major program. May be used as an elective if taken prior to entry [3 credits]
