Foundations of Computer Science
"This course has two objectives. First (and obvious) is to teach programming. Second is to present some fundamental principles of computer science, especially algorithm design. Most students will have some programming experience already, but there are few people whose programming cannot be improved through greater knowledge of basic principles. Please bear this point in mind if you have extensive experience and ¯nd parts of the course rather slow."
