CSC 104 2006S // The why and how of computing

[inca knots]

From Quipus



Welcome!<

Welcome to the web site for the Summer 2006 term of CSC 104, "The why and how of computing."

There is a course information sheet (in PDF format). I'll discuss this in the first lecture, and you may request a paper copy.

Prerequisites and Exclusions

The Arts and Science Calendar is the official source of information, but the main considerations are:

  • You are a U of T student and haven't taken (and aren't in the process of taking) other university-level computing courses.

Informally, you should be ready to think about computers, their history and place in society, and experiment a bit with programs.

Enrolment

ROSI (Repository of Student Information) and your College Registrar handle enrolment.
