Program Design and Analysis

Course Announcements

The format of this class.
Most lectures will consist of a short lecture (15-30 minutes) followed by students working in pairs on laptop computers. There is no separate lab for this course.
Should I bring a laptop to class?
We have laptops that we will use in class, but if you have your own laptop, feel free to bring it if you want. It will be easier to have your work on your own laptop as you will not need to copy it to your Duke space at the end of class.
HELP - How do I get help?
We will setup consulting hours and office hours, they will be posted on the CompSci 6 web page starting next week.
You can also post questions on the course bulletin board. Please try to be explicit as possible (Having trouble setting up your computer, please tell us what type of computer, operating system, etc...). If you are shy and want to post your questions anonymously, then don't login and your post will be from "guest"

Course Description:

Design and implementation of programs to solve problems in Computer Science, Engineering, and Natural Sciences. Object-oriented programming using Java, analysis of programs and algorithms, reading, modifying, and designing classes, data structures including arrays, sets, and maps. Intended as an introduction for majors and those interested in programming and Computer Science with applications in the sciences. We use the programming language Java and the Eclipse environment.

Required Background:

This is a course for Computer Science majors or those who want to gain more experience with programming. The course assumes experience with programming using variables, conditionals, loops, functions, and collections (lists, arrays). Additionally, students should have familiarity with the material covered in Mathematics 31 (or take it concurrently with this course).
