[[Theoretical Foundations of Computer Science]] is a defunct Computer Science course in the CTY program.  Its course code is CPS1.
 
 
 
==Course Description==
 
 
 
Theoretical Foundations of Computer Science was a course in the mathematical underpinnings of computer science.  It combined theoretical study of various models of computation with practical programming exercises in the language Scheme.
 
 
 
==Class History==
 
 
 
It seemed that most students were only interested in one of the two aspects of the course, so in 2001, CPS1 split into two courses.  [[FCPS]], or Fundamentals of Computer Science, focuses on the practical aspects of computer architecture and programming, while [[TCOM]], of Theory of Computation, takes up the theoretical side.
 
 
 
In the past, CPS1 was offered at a number of sites.  Today, FCPS is offered at five sites, while TCOM is only offered at [[Lancaster]].
