This course teaches the principles of functional, imperative, and logic programming languages. Topics covered include: meta-circular interpreters, semantics (operational and denotational), type systems (polymorphism, inference, and abstract types), object oriented programming. The course involves substantial programming assignments and problem sets as well as a significant amount of reading. The course uses the Java, C++, or C# programming languages for its assignments.

本課程旨在教授程式設計的基本概念與實作技能。學生將學習如何使用現代程式語言（如Python或Matlab）撰寫簡單的程式，涵蓋的主題包括變數、條件判斷、迴圈結構、函式與基礎資料結構。透過實作練習與專案，學生將培養解決問題的能力，並為進一步進修程式開發或相關領域的課程奠定紮實基礎。
