Welcome to the Oakton Community College CSC 172 Home Page. Here you can find the information that pertains to all sections of the course.

Prerequisite

MAT 250, CSC 170 or concurrent enrollment in CSC 170, or instructor's consent.

Course Description

This an introduction to the FORTRAN90 programming language with an emphasis on solving numerically intensive applications that occur in scientific and engineering fields. Numerical algorithms will be implemented using essential programming tools and elementary data structures.

Course Objectives

1. Compose, edit, compile and execute programs written in the FORTRAN90 programming language.
2. Apply the tools of problem analysis and algorithmic development to problems from the natural sciences and engineering.
3. Design programs using the essential programming tools: modularity, selection and repetition.
4. Implement programming solutions using data structures such as files and arrays.
5. Survey elementary numerical algorithms.
