Learning Outcomes
-Students should become familiar with a large part of the C programming language.
-They should have developed the problem-solving and technical skills to analyse small-scale computational problems, and to subsequently design, encode and debug C programs to solve such problems.
-They will understand some of the basic principles underlying the discipline of computer science, and gain some appreciation of different styles of programming to the imperative style explored in this course.
-Students will be able to make effective use of a modern computer system for organising data, communicating, accessing resources worldwide and problem solving.
-They will have become familiar with Max/MSP external programming in C and will have demonstrated this in a programming task.
-They will have developed problem solving skills: the ability to analyse a modest-scale computational problem, develop a solution at the level of a high-level program design, and implement that design in a programming language.
