  abstract =     "We have developed a new introduction to the computer
                 science major, consisting of two courses, called
                 Science of Computing 1 and Science of Computing 2. This
                 sequence emphasizes balanced development of basic
                 abilities in all three of computer science's
                 fundamental methods of inquiry (design, theory, and
                 empirical analysis), as opposed to the more traditional
                 emphasis on programming and data structures. Science of
                 Computing 1 introduces students to all three methods of
                 inquiry, in the context of recursive algorithms and
                 their mathematical and experimental analysis. Science
                 of Computing 2 extends, and provides extensive practice
                 in, all three methods. Both courses use a strongly
                 hands-on approach to demonstrate the importance of, and
                 interactions between, the three methods of inquiry.
                 Preliminary results indicate that these courses
                 successfully teach basic design, theory, and empirical
                 analysis, and encourage students to continue studying
                 computer science at a rate as high as or higher than
                 that of traditional introductory courses.",
