| − | Data structures are imperative to Computer Science, and arrays are just the beginning. Data Structures and Algorithms teaches implementation of various [[Glossary#data_structure|data structures]] (such as trees or tables), ways of storing data in a computer and [[Glossary#algorithm|algorithms]] for manipulating the data efficiently. This course will also discuss the performance characteristics for each data structure which will help to make good decisions on selecting an appropriate data structure for a particular application.

| − | ===*COMP 2150 Object Orientation=== | + | ===[[Discrete Mathematics for Computer Science (COMP 2130)]]=== |
| − | In your first year, you have learned how to write simple programs using an object-oriented programming language, Java. In this course, you will be introduced to other object-orientation program languages in addition to Java, such as C++. You will also learn additional advanced object-oriented programming techniques (such as inheritance and polymorphisms) to design and implement a computer application.

| − | ===*COMP 2160 Programming Practices=== | + | ===[[Data Structures and Algorithms (COMP 2140)]]=== |
| − | Good programming practice is crucial for real-world programming. In real-world, programmers occasionally work in group to build an application. Therefore, you are not writing program just for yourself. This course emphasize on how to write program properly using good practices that defined in the IT industry. In addition, this course introduce you to some useful techniques in compiling and debugging program. The concept of memory management and performance issue will also be discussed in this course to help you write better program.

| − | Have you ever wonder how the special effects are generated in a movie? Movies' graphic designers use graphic generation software which are developed using Scientific Computing concepts to edit scenes in a movie. Scientific Computing involves creating mathematical solutions that uses computer to analyze and solve scientific and engineering problems. This course will introduce you to the concepts of numerical simulation processing and geometry computation which used primarily in graphic design.

| − | University is not the only place for learning. The Department of Computer Science has a Co-op program that arrange students to work in business firms, IT industry firms or government agencies on a four month paid work term. This is the perfect opportunity to gain working experience and network with potential employers before students graduate. After you have completed your second year Computer Science courses, you can start applying for the admission to the Computer Science Co-op program. Please visit the [http://coop.cs.umanitoba.ca/ Computer Science Co-op Program] website for more information.

Welcome to the second year of Computer Science. In your first year, you have learned the basic programming concepts, techniques and how to program in Java language. Computer Science is not just about programming. In second year Computer Science courses, you are going to learn theories that are widely used in the Computer Science field. These courses play an important role in preparing you for more advance study in your third and fourth year Computer Science courses. This page has a list of second year Computer Science courses with a brief overview on the goal of the courses.
Note: Courses that are labelled with * are required for Computer Science Major and Honours program.
