Technology:

This course uses the Java programming language. Students will need to have access to personal computers with the Java IDE, Eclipse, software installed. Such computers are available for student use on campus. For students with their own computers, Java and Eclipse are available free of charge on the internet. It is also available on the department computers in Gillet Hall.

Computer Use and Access:

You have access to computers in the Math Computer Science Learning Center (Math Lab) in Gillet Hall 222, and the IT Center.

These machines are for academic use only and a code of conduct applies to computer use in the department and on-campus. Misusing university computers could result in losing your computer access for the rest of the semester, making it exceedingly difficult to complete this course.

Tutoring:

Departmental tutoring is available in the Math Computer Science Learning Center (Math Lab), Gillet Hall, Room 222.
