9. 24 July 20059 CS1101S A course modeled after the first programming course in MIT –Used widely in many US universities Programming as conceptual modeling Simple syntax (Scheme) allows more time on problem solving

10. 24 July 200510 Who Should Read CS1101S? Confident in your mathematics –Good grasp of concepts of functions and its compositions –Good grade in your A-level mathematics Interested in exploring the field of computing early If you are exempted from taking CS1101, you can still study CS1101S.

11. 24 July 200511 Caveat for Taking CS1101S You should not take CS1101S and CS1102 together. If you fail your CS1101S, you will be asked to repeat the first programming course by taking CS1101 (not CS1101S again.)
