AMS-2940 Optimization
An introduction to the methods and applications of linear programming. Topics include linear programming formulations, the simplex method, duality and sensitivity analysis, and integer programming basics. Applications to transportation, resource allocation and scheduling problems will be examined. Software will be used to illustrate topics and applications.
Requisites:MATH 2610 - Must be completed prior to taking this course.
Section 1: M/W 1:00 PM - 2:15 PM
CS-3130 Mobile Device, Android
This course introduces the student to programming for mobile devices that use the Android platform. The course will present a study of the architecture, operating system, and programming language of these devices.
Requisites:Computer Science 2910 and 2920 - Must be completed prior to taking this course.
Section 1: Th 6:00 PM - 8:50 PM
CS-4360 Adv Computer Graphics Program
This course builds on the computer graphics programming concepts introduced in CS 4350. Students are given a deeper understanding of the components of the 3D graphics pipeline, and how they are used in modern graphical applications. Topics include advanced texture mapping, practical uses of vertex and pixel shaders, screen post-processing, particle systems, and graphics engine design.
Requisites: Computer Science 4350 - Must be completed prior to taking this course.
Section 1: T 7:00 PM - 9:50 PM
CS-4650 Video-Game Architecture
This programming-driven course aims to explore the various systems that comprise a typical video-game project, including event systems, state machines, rendering, scripting and AI programming. Students will implement these components throughout the course with the end goal of building a small game.
Requisites: Computer Science 4350 - Must be completed prior to taking this course.
Computer Science 4360 - Must be taken either prior to or at the same time as this course.
Section 1: W 7:00 PM - 9:50 PM
MATH-1110-02 Finite Mathematics
This course introduces students to finite mathematical techniques and to mathematical models in business, life, and the social sciences. The course begins with an introduction to mathematical models, types of models, and conversion of verbal models to mathematical models. Topics covered include systems of linear equations and matrices, linear inequalities and linear programming, sets, counting and probability. NOTE: Credit for Mathematics 1110 will not be allowed if taken concurrent with or subsequent to Mathematics 2610.
Requisites: Grade XII academic Mathematics.
Section 2: M/W/F 11:30 AM - 12:20 PM
MATH-1920-01 Single Variable Calculus II
This course is a continuation of integral calculus of functions of a single variable and an introduction to sequences and series. Techniques of integration are studied, including improper integrals and numerical integration, and the tools of integral calculus are used to compute areas, volumes and arc lengths; and are applied to problems in physics and differential equations. Sequences, series, tests for convergence, Taylor series and Taylor polynomials are studied.
Requisites: Math 1910 - Must be completed prior to taking this course.
Math-1920T - Must be taken at the same time as this course.
Section 1: W 2:30 PM - 3:20 PM and T/Th 8:30 AM - 9:45 AM
