Objectives

Algorithmic approaches to problem solving and computer program design for engineers. Engineering and mathematically-oriented problem sets will be emphasized, including nonnumeric applications. Searching, sorting, linked lists, and data typing will be introduced.

May not be applied toward a major in computer science.

Course Topics

· CH 1: Engineering Problem Solving (specifically, Sections 1.2 and 1.3)

· CH 2: Simple C Programs (Constants, variables, assignments, operators, simple I/O, math functions)

· CH 3: Control Structures and Data Files (Conditionals, selection and loop statements, files)

· CH 4: Modular Programming with Functions (Functions, macros, recursion(?))

· CH 5 Arrays and Matrices (Arrays, sorting, searching, 2-dimensional arrays)

· CH 6: Programming with Pointers

If time permits,

· CH 7: Programming with Structures

Class Notes

Other online materials

· Bloodshed Software

· To Run on Windows Vista do the following

1. Go to Tools -> Compiler Options

2. add "C:\Dev-Cpp\libexec\gcc\mingw32\3.4.2" to the binaries location under the directories tab

3. add "c:\dev-cpp\bin\" before all the program names under the programs tab, so the first one looks like c:\dev-cpp\bin\gcc.exe

· programs from the textbook

· sample exams, programs etc
