What are the basic things a Computer Science student should know?
What every computer science major should know!
- Portfolio versus Resume. A resume says nothing of a programmer’s ability.
- Programming languages. Programming languages rise and fall with the solar cycle.
- Discrete mathematics.
- Data structures and algorithms.
- Theory.
- Architecture.
- Operating systems.
- Networking.
What is the most important algorithm in Computer Science?
Sort Algorithms Sorting is the most heavily studied concept in Computer Science. Idea is to arrange the items of a list in a specific order.
Is Java easy than Python?
There is more experimentation than production code. Java is a statically typed and compiled language, and Python is a dynamically typed and interpreted language. This single difference makes Java faster at runtime and easier to debug, but Python is easier to use and easier to read.
Should I learn data structure and algorithms in my second year?
Some students think like if they will be having data structure and algorithm subject in their second year, they are going to learn it in the second year as it is in their syllabus, so they don’t need to worry about that subject right now.
What are the introductory courses for a minor in Computer Science?
Students pursuing a Minor in Computer Science are suggested to complete one of the initial CS courses in their first year. This will be either one of the various introductory courses (CS 102, CS 104, CS 105, or CS 106) or Data Structures and Algorithms (CS 103, CS 150).
What courses do you need to take to become a computer?
Bachelor of Arts in Computer Science (ABCS) All students pursuing an ABCS curriculum are recommended to complete the two initial CS courses. This includes both one of the various introductory courses (CS 102, CS 104, CS 105, or CS 106) and Data Structures and Algorithms (CS 103, CS 150).
How do I get into computer science as a non-major?
If you are at all interested in Computer Science, take a class and talk to the department faculty. Even if you decide CS is not for you, computer science introductory courses (CS 104, CS 105, CS 106) and the computational methods introductory course (CM 151) count as Common Course of Study Natural Science credit for non-majors.
