COMP 1010 Home > Back to Chapter Topics

Introduction COMP 1010, or Introductory Computer Science 1 is the introductory programming course offered at the University of Manitoba. It is a prerequisite for further studies in Computer Science, Engineering, and some fields of Mathematics. You will learn fundamental programming concepts such as: control statements, for loops and arrays, how to write a program using Java, and how to set up a computer to run your program. The purpose of this course is to help students that do not have any programming experience to get started in writing computer programs. Hence, no computer programming knowledge is required prior taking this course. If you have taken Computer Science classes in high school, you may have already been exposed to some of the topics presented in this course.

...By Students "Welcome to Java everybody. I found that playing around with print and if statements really caught my attention at the beginning of this course. I then went on to learn about for loops and arrays which ended up helping my programs perform greater tasks more effectively. Overall a really fascinating course for anyone interested in knowing the core basics in software architecture." "I already took Computer Science in high school, so this was more of a refresher than anything. However I got a great introduction to the Java programming language (previously I had worked with C++ and Visual Basic only)."

Prerequisites

Any Grade 12 or 40S Mathematics or equivalent.
