My first contribution: Introduction to computing

Wrong word. :P
After some quick research I've found that coursework referes to the work you've done on a course (papers, annotations, solved exercises, etc).
That google site is small like a guide book and contains very few content, so not a reference book. Reference material seems to be a good definition.

Hi Shoshou..Mony! I like your text :)

It skips the very beginning, about what a computer does and what are the fundamental pieces of a computer.
It goes as far as functions and what is a pointer and how to use one.
From there I have two paths: one is to study data structure and more complex algorithms. The other is numerical calculus and writing algorithms which can solve integrals, derivatives, limits, things that students learn in their first semester. Since my course is about a mixture of applied math and applied physics, I'll probably be following the second path and be leaving data structures to a much later stage.
PS: there are probably many grammar mistakes and some inconsistencies regarding science computing terminology because I rushed to write all that.

Hey nice site , vey helpful indeed , but dont u think u confused algorithms with C / C++ programs ?
0kelvin:
Everything it's in C because the course is done with C programming language. But you are right, for some problems such as counting numbers or sequences of numbers, better ommit the #include int main() thing and leave the essential algorithm itself.
I've seen a different method of teaching which is to use Java and object orientation programming right from the beginning, but that wasn't my case.
By the way, I'm writing some annotations (in portuguese version first), because there are things that need to be improved. For ex: I'm thinking about adding a chapter with ~20 example problems with commented code (make the union of two arrays, calculate Taylor Series for cos function, do the sum of a sequence of factorials, cash machine program to count notes, etc).

It reminds me of my c programming when I was in college but anyway, this discussion is a great idea:)
