No longer offered. It’s in Waterloo’s scanned calendars from 1994–95 to 1994–95 (before that, 1974–75 to 1980–81 used the number for Numerical Analysis and Computation); the 1995–96 to 2023–24 calendars are on ucalendar.
Structured software design, overview of programming systems and computer organization; data structures; hashing, sorting and searching; algorithm complexity, evaluation and design; event-driven and object-oriented programming; concurrency. Laboratories devoted to implementing a medium-sized programming project.
As printed in the 1994–95 calendar, read by OCR; the scanned page is the original. Later calendars (1995–96 on) aren’t on uwloo.

CS 482 for non-CS student? 2 points, 4 comments
“Have any non-CS majors taken CS 482? I'm a stats major with a CS minor and interested in taking the course, but the only reviews on Flow are CS majors comparing it to other CS major courses. …”
u/PPewt: “Are you sure Quest isn't rejecting you because you don't have CS341? CS341 is one of the listed prerequisites, and is both CS-heavy and not open to non-CS majors. …”
u/PsychoactiveCanopus: “Parentheses. Check the prerequisites for STAT 340”
