Course Objective

This course is a basic course to programming languages using C. The objectives of the course are to attain a basic knowledge of programming, an understanding of algorithmic issues and an ability to analyze solutions to real-life interesting mathematical problems.

Course Outline

The topics to be covered include introduction and history of C; data types, constants and variables; operators and expressions; type conversion; decision making, branching and looping; arrays and strings; library functions and user defined functions; structures; pointers; and file management. A detailed course outline could be downloaded from here.

Evaluation

The final grade of this course will be evaluated by the following weighted combination:

(a) Attendance: 10%

(b) Class Tests/Quiz (3 out of 4): 20%
