Intro to Computing

9/3/2022Y02-2300swaminathan.iyer@umb.edu

An introduction to computer programming: the concepts involved in use of a higher level language and the program development process. The goal of this course is proficiency in the design and implementation of programs of significant size and complexity. This course is quite demanding because of the length of the programming exercises assigned. This is the first course in the computer science sequence.

Intermediate Computing and Data Structures

1/6/2023Y02-2310swaminathan.iyer@umb.edu

The design and implementation of computer programs in a high-level language, with emphasis on proper design principles and advanced programming concepts, including dynamic data structures and recursion. The assignments are designed to introduce the student to a variety of topics in computing: data structures and ADTs, Lists, Stacks, Queues, Ordered Lists, Binary Trees, and searching and sorting techniques.

Advanced Algorithms and Data Structures

7/7/2024Y04-4110beatrice.perez@umb.edu

A systematic study of the methods of structuring and manipulating data in computing. Abstract data types. The design and analysis of algorithms. Advanced techniques for program development and organization.

Programming in C

1/6/2023W02-0158aaditya.tamrakar001@umb.edu

C programming for programmers with prior knowledge of some high-level language (e.g., one semester of programming in Java). The course treats C as a machine-level language and as a general-purpose language; it covers number representation, masking, bitwise operations, and memory allocation, as well as more general topics such as dynamic data structures, file I/O, separate compilation, program development tools, and debugging.

Discrete Mathematics

1/6/2024W01-0004nurit.haspel@umb.edu

An introduction to the mathematical structures and concepts used in computing: sets, mathematical induction, ordered sets, Boolean algebras, predicate calculus, trees, relations and lattice theory. Formal and informal theories and corresponding mathematical proofs are taught.

Social Issues and Ethics in Computing

1/6/2024M02-0404amanda.potasznik@umb.edu

This course explores some of the ethical and societal issues that are raised by computing. Topics include privacy, freedom of expression, intellectual property, liability, the effect of computing on social interaction, and human-computer interface issues. Students write an analytical paper on an appropriate topic and also present their findings to the class.

Computer Architecture and Organization

1/6/2024Y02-2120hefei.qiu001@umb.edu

Computer hardware concepts and hardware-level programming for C programmers. Topics include digital logic circuits, computer organization of a microprocessor system (i.e., how CPU, memory, and i/o interface chips are interconnected), serial and parallel port interfacing, hardware programming in C and C/assembler, interrupt programming, device drivers. The necessary assembly language is also covered. The course includes a hands-on lab meeting one hour per week.

Graphics

9/3/2024W01-0006daniel.haehn@umb.edu

After completing this course, you will be able to develop rich and interactive web-based 3D visualizations for computers, smartphones, and tablets. By using WebGL, you will learn to create immersive and high-quality graphics, including 3D geometric transformations, camera transformations, the image-rendering process, as well as materials and texture mapping. This course also includes advanced topics such as color representations, light simulation, dealing with geometries, and creating animations. And since everything runs in the browser, you can show your work to your friends with a link to a website.

Independent Study - Large Language Models (LLM)

9/3/2024M-3-0201-64daniel.haehn@umb.edu

Work done by a student or group of students under faculty supervision on material not currently offered in a regularly scheduled course. Students wishing to undertake such work must first find a faculty member willing to supervise it; the work to be completed must be approved by the department chairperson.

>Recently, I've been honing my skills in Tensorflow, Pytorch. Additonally, I have extensive personal experience working with React and it's TypeScript framework, Next JS. I have a strong foundation in networking, graduating from Essex North Shore and Agricultural High School with a concentration in Information Technology. Additonally, I have years of experience with modern web frameworks, primarily React.
