As stated in the Saint Martin's University catalog, this course provides an "introduction to programming and problem-solving through systematic problem definition and the design of appropriate solutions. Computer programming as an art also will be taught in a systematic manner."

In this course I will introduce you to programming, focusing primarily on aspects that are fundamental to the production of efficient solutions for computer-solvable problems. You will use these tools to complete various basic problems in class and in homework using C++, an industry-wide standard language supported on most modern computing platforms. The tools to be surveyed include program design methodology, logic and syntax, basic data types and control structures. You will learn the efficiencies and inefficiencies of various structures and limitations of the models presented.
