This class is for students who have no (or very little) previous programming experience who are:

<ol start="1"> <li>interested in seeking a major or minor in Computer Science, and/or</li> <li>College of Engineering majors who wish to pursue the CS111-141 path to meeting their computing requirement, and/or</li> <li>interested in biology in a computer science context, and/or</li> <li>interested in computer science in a biological context.</li> <li>the informal name for this biology-themed section is "CS+BIO" or "green"</li> </ol>

Other students are more than welcome to join CS111 or may wish to check out the similar (but less intense) course, CS100.

The course will take its examples, the things that we write programs about, from biology, ranging from DNA and genes to population dynamics and evolution. The course is team taught by a Computer Science professor and a Biological Sciences professor, and will include substantial introductory biology content. The programming language will be Python.

<b>Course topics: </b>Introduction to programming: control structures; variables and data types; problem decomposition and procedural programming; input and output; aggregate data structures including arrays; programming exercises.
