4.00 Credits
4 hours This course builds upon the foundation of CS 150 and CS 151. It emphasizes modern programming practices and introduces students to complex ideas such as graphical user interfaces, model/view/controller architecture, threading, XML, Linux programming environments, programming tools, and program documentation. Prerequisite: CS 151. (W, S, R)
-
4.00 Credits
4 hours Propositional and predicate logic, methods of proof, induction, recursion and recurrence relations, sets and combinations, binary relations (including equivalence relations and partial orderings), functions, Boolean algebra and computer logic, and finite state machines. Prerequisites: MATH 152 or above or computer science CS 150, 151, or CS 200 or consent of instructor. (Same as MATH 220.)
-
4.00 Credits
4 hours An introduction to fundamental ideas of computer architecture and operating systems: digital logic, data representations, CPU, architecture, machine and assembly language, memory design, bus organization, input/output processing, interrupts. Prerequisite: CS 200.
-
4.00 Credits
4 hours Principles of database management systems and database design. This course takes a top-down, bottom-up approach to database management systems. In the first part of the course, key topics include data modeling, query planning, and query writing. In the second part of the course, we take a bottom-up look at the implementation of a database management system. Topics in the second part of the course include disk and file management, transaction and processing, meta-data management, query planning and implementation, parsing queries, indexing, and query optimization. Prerequisite: CS 200.
-
4.00 Credits
4 hours A comparison of the structure, design, and applications of various programming languages. Topics include history, language definition, formal models of syntax and semantics, data types and structures, data abstraction, control structures, data flow, and runtime considerations. Languages will be discussed in a logical organization based upon the major paradigms including imperative, logic, functional, parallel, and object oriented. Examples from classic and contemporary languages. Prerequisite: CS 200.
-
4.00 Credits
4 hours Concepts, principles, protocols, and applications of computer networks with a focus on the Internet. Application layer protocols such as http, smtp. Socket programming and peer-to-peer networks. Transportlayer protocols such as TCP, UDP and congestion control. Network layer algorithms for routing and broadcast, and multicast. Link-level protocols for local area networks such as Ethernet and WiFi. Issues in network privacy and security. Prerequisite: CS 200.
-
4.00 Credits
4 hours Balanced tree structures, including B-trees. Hashing techniques, including expandable hash files. External sorting algorithms. Memory management algorithms. File design and file processing. Emphasis on algorithm analysis and design; algorithms drawn from a variety of applications. Prerequisites: CS 200, MATH/CS 220.
-
4.00 Credits
4 hours Artificial intelligence problems and solution techniques. Problem spaces, graph and tree traversals, heuristic search. Knowledge representation methodologies, knowledge engineering, and expert systems. Philosophical and social issues. Offered alternate years. Prerequisite: CS 200.
-
4.00 Credits
4 hours An introduction to computer graphics, with an emphasis on applications programming. A commonly used application programming interface (API) is used to study geometric transformations, parallel and perspective projections, hidden surface removal, light sources, shading, and reflection. Students will write programs using the API and a high level programminglanguage. Offered alternate years. Prerequisite: CS 200.
-
4.00 Credits
4 hours In this course we examine three-tier Internet application architectures. Applications developed for the Internet typically have a database back end, an application server in the middle, and a web server on the front end. We will examine application programming frameworks from CGI to Servlets, and other modern application programming frameworks such as Ruby on Rails. Other topics include XMLbased architectures such as RSS and web services, data transformation using XSL and XSLT. The course is largely project-driven; students will implement a complete web-based application. Prerequisite: CS 200. Offered alternate years.
