Course Information

Lecturer:	Dr Niall Madden Room ADB-1013, Arás de Brún Phone: (353) (0)91 493803 Email: niall.madden@nuigalway.ie
Lectures:	Wednesday 09:00-09:50 and 16:00-16:50 in ADB-G021
First Lecture:	9am, Wednesday, 11th Jan 2017
Labs	(TBA)
First Lab:	Week 2
Course Content:	Programming in C++; Object oriented programming; Scientific computing
Module descriptor:	See www.maths.nuigalway.ie/study/course.shtml?code=4 for indicative content and learning outcomes.
Assessment:	Regular lab assignments, an individual project, and a 2 hour written exam at the end of Semester 2
Web sites:	The on-line content for CS319 will be hosted here. We will also use some features of NUIGalway.BlackBoard.com. Source code is also available from GitHub.
Links:	The freely available Code::Blocks C, C++ and Fortran IDE. How to teach yourself programming in 21 days, by Abstruse Goose. Looking for some more programming exercises? Try Project Euler. I've completed about 40 of them, though mostly in Matlab, rather than C++.
