Mathematical techniques useful in the study of computing and information processing. The mathematical method of definition and proof. Sets, functions, and relations. Combinatorics, probability and probabilistic reasoning. Graphs and trees as models of data and of computational processes. Prerequisite: R1 math skills recommended. Not intended for Computer Science majors - students interested in a majors-level treatment of this material should see COMPSCI 240 and 250, or MATH 455.

An introduction to the main concepts of Informatics. There are several 'Big Ideas' in computing, including but not limited to abstraction, data and information, algorithms, programming, the internet, and the global impacts of computing. This class provides an introduction to those ideas and considers some of the ways that those computing principles might be used to solve real world problems. Computer-based assignments are an integral part of this course but no programming knowledge or prior programming experience is expected or required. Not for CS majors.

The Commonwealth Honors College thesis or project is intended to provide students with the opportunity to work closely with faculty members to define and carry out in-depth research or creative endeavors. It provides excellent preparation for students who intend to continue their education through graduate study or begin their professional careers. The student works closely with their 499Y Honors Research sponsor to pursue research on a topic or question of special interest to them in preparation for writing a 499T Honors Thesis or completing a 499P Honors Project.

This course enhances the thesis research experience for students in the iCons program through peer support teams and advanced scientific communication as students prepare to present their research findings at the Statewide Undergraduate Conference and at the iCons Senior Exposition. This course satisfies Integrative Experience criterion #1 by providing a structured context for students to reflect on and to integrate their previous learning as they prepare to present their senior research findings in these two public forums.

Enhances the thesis research for students in the iCons program through peer student support teams and advanced scientific communication. The purpose of this course is to blend team-based learning and undergraduate scientific research to enhance students' communication skills and to promote integration of mulch-disciplinary approaches to solving scientific problems.
