Class website: http://storm.cis.fordham.edu/zhang/cs2000.  We will make extensive use of the class website. All assignments are (only )posted on this site. The site is full of lots of useful other information including student questions and replies, and class notes.

Course Materials:

  • Textbook: Problem Solving with C++, 10th edition, Walter Savitch. Published by Addison-Wesley.
  • Assigned readings from the textbook.
  • Class Notes: Class notes (highly recommended) are posted on the class website. I suggest you print them out and print them to class, and you can annotate them.
