No longer offered. It’s in Waterloo’s scanned calendars from 1966–67 to 1968–69; the 1995–96 to 2023–24 calendars are on ucalendar.
Some numerical methods are introduced in the first term and programmed for the computer using FORTRAN IV. Concepts of Numerical Errors. Methods in Interpolation, numerical integration, solution of nonlinear equations, linear systems of equations. In the second term non-numeric computing is introduced including simulation, the concept of a list and elementary list processing techniques, sorting, symbol manipulation. 2 hours lectures, | hour problems.
As printed in the 1968–69 calendar, read by OCR; the scanned page is the original.

Going to fail CS246 this term - What courses should I take next term? 1 point, 8 comments
“As I mentioned in a previous post, I'm almost certainly going to fail CS 246 this term. I was following the recommended course sequence when I enrolled for classes next term, but since CS 240 and CS …”
u/throw44awway: “… You should work on your other degree requirements like STAT 231/230, MATH 238. Be careful from now on though. Not being able to take CS240 pretty much delays all your third year CS courses since almost all of them requires it. …”
