Assignments : There will be periodic programming assignments, and one major project. The project will be to design a useful class library for some set of objects (e.g. "matrices") that you are interested in. Everyone will need to make a web page with your project described in detail and available for download. Other students will assess your projects by downloading them and trying them out. A computer with space for web pages will be available for those without a current web page.

Grading : To be determined.

• Basic elements of C++
• Introduction to classes
• Templates
• Inheritance
• Exceptions
• The Standard Library
• Tricks and techniques for numerical programming: reference counting, smart pointer classes, delayed assignment and evaluation, etc.
