Fundamentals of Computer Science is a Computer Science course in the CTY program with no prerequisites. Its course code is FCPS.
Course Description
FCPS focuses on the practical aspects of computer architecture and programming.
Course History
FCPS split off from CPS1 in 2001, and CPS1 became defunct.
(from the CTY website:) This course introduces students to three major areas of computer science: theory and algorithms, hardware systems, and software systems. The theoretical component of the course covers the study of algorithms, Boolean algebra, binary mathematics, and the theory of computation. While studying hardware systems, students learn about the physical components of computers, digital logic, and computer architecture.
