• Fundamentals of Mathematical and Computing Sciences: Computer Science, Part II
• Lecturer: Ken Wakita (Associate Professor), W8-W Building, 9th floor, Room 907

Following Prof. Watanabe’s first part, I (Ken Wakita) will be teaching important topics of software development.  Basically we will discuss how we put our idea into a working software in an efficient and effective manner.

As you will learn during the first part, it is important to break down a large software into a smaller, modular units.  For this purpose, we usually define a meaningful interface that split a software into independent parts as well as layers of abstractions.

Such decomposed components are described using various programming languages.  Why we need different programming languages?  It is because a programming language suits to describe a high-level abstract components, while another can effectively express lower level details.

The detail of my part will announced soon.
