Welcome to CS 1120

CS 1120 provides an introduction to computer science. It assumes no previous background beyond experience with email. The class focuses on describing and reasoning about information processes using language and logic. We will incorporate motivating examples from the liberal arts and sciences areas such as art, biology, economics, narrative, physics, and sociology.

CS 1120 is the first gateway course for College students majoring in Computer Science. It is open to all College students.
