Description

This outline covers the required Introduction to Computer Science course for computer science majors and the Advanced Placement Computer Science examination taken by high school students. The outline presents the introductory concepts of computer science with emphasis on algorithm development and data abstraction. Although the concepts are language independent, the authors will illustrate them using graded examples, in C, C++, and Java. Whenever appropriate, examples using other languages like Pascal, BASIC, and FORTRAN will also be used.
