Indeed, science. both Both of via programming languages are at the heart of computer these topics are absolutely necessary as the core of an entire CS curriculum. The question is are these topics sufficient to provide an overview and solid foundation the discipline of computer science? Since computer the problems, Algorithms systems are tools for solving is certainly a vital topic. and the for current overview of computer science (as presented in the introductory computer science course) is too narrow and restrictive. In order to survey the field and lay a foundational computer core of knowledge upon which to build, science science students must see and experience the study of algorithms broad range of topics which computer form the basis of both the creation encompasses. To that end, the curricular content of an Introduction to Computer Science course will be outlined. use of computer systems. Solving problems by
