This course builds on the basic programming concepts learned in Computer Science 151, shifting the focus to the organization of data in order to improve efficiency and simplicity of programs. Topics include the study of abstract data types and data structures (such as linked lists, stacks, queues, and binary trees). This course is programming-intensive and introduces the Java programming language.

Introduction to the field of computer science with a theme of humanities computing. Introduces students to algorithms, basic data structures, and programming techniques. Students will explore solving problems that arise in humanities disciplines: various forms of text analysis, image manipulation, animation, and sound manipulation.
