MS 059 SC - Alternative Computer Science: Analogs and Algorithms


Fifty years ago all computers were analog: they found answers by reading changes in a physical model to describe a problem. The course will introduce students to analog computation by solving problems best done with non-digital techniques. We will cover the history of traditional topics in computer science by showing how they emerged from analog computation. We will then map the analogs to algorithms and write code to reproduce the original solutions.

Course Credit: 1.0
Offered: Every year


Please refer to the course schedule on the Scripps Portal for current course offerings and details.
