This course emphasizes an object-oriented approach to solving computer programming problems. Using these techniques leads to shorter system development life cycles, increased programmer productivity, code reusability, and reduced system maintenance costs. This course provides a thorough, practical knowledge of object-oriented programming methods. Students learn the principles underlying programming using a language such as C++. Note: Students (except BA in Mathematics majors and BS in Financial Mathematics majors) cannot get credit for both CIS 3100 and MTH 4300. CIS majors will be required to take an additional CIS course if receiving credit for MTH 4300 to satisfy the 24-credit requirement for the CIS major.
