Text:���������������������������� Learning Java, 3rd
ed., by Niemeyer and Knudsen (at Mary
Jane Books).
This is the same text that is used for GOG 414/590.
Supplies
We will be
using Java and Eclipse as our programming environment. It is available in the
Science Library Information Commons room. You
may also download these packages for your own use. Click here for instructions.
You must have a USB 2.0 compatible flash drive to save your work
in the lab during class. You don�t need a big one�1 gigabyte is more than
enough.
Goals
This course
continues where the prerequisite course, Computer Mapping/Advanced Cartography
(GOG 414/590), left off. It introduces the basics of computational geometry
through Java programming in an object-oriented framework. Throughout the
course, we will supplement class discussions with programming experience.
If you have
not taken GOG 414/590, you should not take this
course.
Grading
Policy
Your grade
will be based entirely upon assignments. There are no exams. Programming is one
of those things you have to work on every day. Expect a lot of assignments.
I
will not accept late assignments unless you make prior arrangements with me! Give yourself a lot of time to
complete them. If you are not able to get an assignment working, hand it in
anyway for partial credit.
It is
essential that everyone do his/her own work unless I assign a group project. No credit will be
given to individual projects handed in under more than one name unless I have
explicitly assigned a group project. Assignments will count as 100%
of your grade.
