Objective:
This course is aimed to provide a fundamental understanding of computer science for the students in their early stages of academic career. Various computer nomenclatures regarding to hardware and software will be introduced for students to develop an in-depth realization of several subjects and their significant roles in the field. The relevance and inter-relationships between one another will be illustrated to establish a clear roadmap of computation principles. The topics discussed in the class will spiritually sow the seeds of essential concepts to enlighten further exploration of the interesting subjects in the subsequent sprouting courses. To learn and think independently is highly encouraged.
