CPSC 130 Math Programming in C:
This class should have been titled getting ready to learn how to program, an introductions to C and REXX. Prerequisite for the class was Math 120 Trigonometry. The target audience was Math majors and electrical Engineering. The class started with a simple model of a computer processor used to explain how the language ran in the processor. Simple patterns were used as a basis to start writing code. We started with Model View Controller (MVC). The class then introduced round off error, and truncation error to emphasize the limitation of software solutions. This left the Microchip Programmers a good background for solving problems in the engineering department and for math modeling for the Math students.

Math 120 Trigonometry:
This was the primary trig class for math majors. This class emphasized the proof of the trigonometric equations and an analytical understand of their graphs. The trigonometric solutions of projectile problems was promoted using a sink the others battle ship game.
