Hi all,
Finals begin tomorrow. I'm mostly worried about Physics and Strength of Materials, but this Programming and Numerical Methods class has me buggin a bit.
I need a 6-7 line essay-type definition for Computer Information Systems. It's open book and open notes so I've been trying to come up with one today. Intuitively the answer is pretty easy, but forming a concise definition is a little tougher. I just spent about 35 mins looking up "CIS," "Computer Information Systems" and various other permutations on Google, dictionary sites, and computer/web dictionary sites. Nada. I mostly find links to course outlines for colleges and way too many references to CompuServe Information Systems. Actually the ONLY definition I found was that CIS is a department in most companies....blah.
If any wordsmiths can fanagle up some juicy snippets I'd really appreciate it.
Side note: This is a really random question for this final. The class is basically math. Every other question on the final is math..from Eigenvector matrices to the fundamental frequencies of spring-mass systems, to finding roots of 3rd order polynomials via the Newton-Rhapson method to Linear and Non-Linear Approximation..all by hand.
sheesh..thanks a bundle
