Took trig over the summer, and I made an 'A'! Hylke is also glad that my trig class is over, because he was getting sick of my trig puns. I don't understand, who can get sick of trig puns? D: It's alright though, I'm already lining up the derivation puns for the next three semesters of calculus I have to take. CALCULUS I: THE DERIVINATORING. CALCULUS II: ELECTRIC BOOGALOO. CALCULUS III: UM, EVEN MORE DERIVINATORING OR SMTH. Yeah, that last one needs work.
I know I won't be able to keep up making all 'A's, but at the very least, I've fifteen credit hours of 'A' currently, so that's a good GPA buffer. I would love to keep making such good marks, but I also know that this is a difficult program, and part of the reason for my success is that algebra, trig and programming foundations I were all basically repeat classes. I needed to take them for the refresher, but it was a lot easier for me to score well in them because I was basically just relearning material I already knew. This semester though, everything is new to me. I've never had calculus or physics, certainly not data structures and the deep internal workings and minutia of microprocessors are still a mystery to me. This semester will be an interesting one.
Programming Foundations II + lab (4 hours)
This course continues developing problem solving techniques by focusing on fundamental data structures and associated algorithms. Topics include: abstract data types, introduction to object-oriented programming, linked lists, stacks, queues, hash tables, binary trees, graphs, recursion, and searching and sorting algorithms. Using C++ in a UNIX environment.
Computer Organization + lab (4 hours)
Presents the relationship between computing hardware and software with a focus on the concepts for current computers. CPU design topics are covered including various techniques for microprocessor design and performance evaluation.
Calculus I + drill (4 hours)
Derivative of functions of one variable, applications of the derivative, introduction of the integral, and applications.
Physics I + lab (4 hours)
Introduction to the principles of mechanics, wave motion, temperature and heat, with calculus.
