Algebraic! CS 17/18 is one of two year-long introductory adventures in computer science. On this page you'll find important information related to the spring quest, CS 18.

Course Overview

A continuation of CSCI 0170. CSCI0180 starts with Java, as a vehicle for teaching the object-oriented programming paradigm, which emphasizes modularity, flexibility, and extensibility. Halfway through the semester, students transition to Scala, so that they can practice mutiple programming paradigms. The fact that CSCI0170/0180 is multilingual and multiparadigmatic helps students recognize that programming, and computer science more generally, transcends the syntax and idiosyncrasies of any one language.
