What does everyone think of this schedule?
CS 231. Computer Organization. The entire hierarchical structure of computer architecture, beginning at the lowest level with a simple machine model (e.g., a simple von Neumann machine). Processors, process handling, I/O handling, and assembler concepts. Graduate credit not given for computer science majors. Prerequisite: 201; corequisite: EECE 116.
Required for the major.
CS 258. Introduction to Computer Graphics. Featuring 2D rendering and image-based techniques, 2D and 3D transformations, modeling, 3D rendering, graphics pipeline, ray-tracing, and texture-mapping. Prerequisite: Linear Algebra, 201, junior standing.
Something I’ve been interested in for a long time.
MATH 221. Theory of Numbers. The Euclidean algorithm, Euler’s phi function, simple continued fractions, congruences, Fermat’s theorem, Wilson’s theorem, and elementary Diophantine equations.
Just looks fun.
MATH 280. Set Theory. The basic operations on sets. Cardinal and ordinal numbers. The axiom of choice. Zorn’s lemma, and the well-ordering principle. Introduction to the topology of metric spaces, including the concepts of continuity, compactness, connectivity, completeness, and separability. Product spaces. Applications to Euclidean spaces. Strongly recommended for beginning graduate students and for undergraduates who plan to do graduate work in mathematics. Prerequisite: intermediate calculus and linear algebra.
See above :).
MATH 226. Introduction to Numerical Mathematics. Numerical solution of linear and nonlinear equations, interpolation and polynomial approximation, non-numerical differentiation and integration, least-squares curve fitting and approximation theory, numerical solution of differential equations, errors and floating point arithmetic. Application of the theory to problems in science, engineering, and economics. Student use of the computer is emphasized. Prerequisite: computer programming and linear algebra, differential equations.
I tried to get in this last semester but failed. I should now have the credit hours for this to work.
Overall, it’s only 15 hours, but 15 hours of advanced courses. Does anyone have any comments?
