Introduces formal logic and its connections to computer and information science. Offers an opportunity to learn to translate statements about the behavior of computer programs into logical claims and to gain the ability to prove such assertions both by hand and using automated tools. Considers approaches to proving termination, correctness, and safety for programs. Discusses notations used in logic, propositional and first order logic, logical inference, mathematical induction, and structural induction. Introduces the use of logic for modeling the range of artifacts and phenomena that arise in computer and information science.

Accompanies CS U290. Covers topics from the course through various experiments.
-
4.00 Credits
Presents a comparative approach to object-oriented programming and design. Discusses the concepts of object, class, meta-class, message, method, inheritance, and genericity. Reviews forms of polymorphism in object-oriented languages. Contrasts the use of inheritance and composition as dual techniques for software reuse: forwarding vs. delegation and subclassing vs. subtyping. Fosters a deeper understanding of the principles of object-oriented programming and design including software components, object-oriented design patterns, and the use of graphical design notations such as UML (unified modeling language). Basic concepts in object-oriented design are illustrated with case studies in application frameworks and by writing programs in one or more object-oriented languages.
-
4.00 Credits
Introduces the basic design of computing systems. Covers central processing unit (CPU), memory, input, and output. Provides a complete introduction to assembly language such as the basics of an instruction set plus experience in assembly language programming using a RISC architecture. Uses system calls and interrupt-driven programming to show the interaction with the operating system. Covers machine representation of integers, characters, and floating-point numbers. Describes caches and virtual memory.
-
4.00 Credits
Introduces the theory behind computers and computing aimed at answering the question, "What are the capabilities and limitations of computers " Covers automata theory, computability, and complexity. The automata theory portion includes finite automata, regular expressions, nondeterminism, nonregular languages, context-free languages, pushdown automata, and noncontext-free languages. The computability portion includes Turing machines, the Church-Turing thesis, decidable languages, and the Halting theorem. The complexity portionincludes big-O and small-o notation, the classes P and NP, the P vs. NP question, and NP-completeness.
-
4.00 Credits
Studies the design of a database for use in a relational database management system. The entity-relationship model and normalization are used in problems. Relational algebra and then the SQL (structured query language) are presented. Advanced topics include triggers, stored procedures, indexing, elementary query optimization, and fundamentals of concurrency and recovery. Students implement a database schema and short application programs on one or more commercial relational database management systems.
