Computing and Data in Practice — CS4389.01

Instructor: Michael Corey
Days & Time: Tu 8:30AM-10:20AM
Credits: 2

For students doing work-study or internships, we will focus on three core areas of professionalization. First, each week will journal our work weeks, discussing and sharing our work experiences in a round-table. Second, we will build our professionalization skills, especially networking (in person and on LinkedIn), resume writing, and doing practice interviews. Finally, we will work on writing 5-year plans, to help us figure out where we鈥檇 like to be a few years after graduation. More specifically

Blockchain/Web3 as an evolution of the consumer web — CS2138.01

Instructor: Michael Corey
Days & Time: TH 3:40pm-5:30pm
Credits: 2

The large-scale consumer web has been defined by epochs. The first epoch was defined by the user as consumer: large companies created content which was consumed by the masses. The second web epoch (web 2.0) has been defined by consumer creators, large companies own and deliver content created by users to other users (Facebook, TikTok, Snapchat, Twitter, Instagram, 鈥). The third web epoch is鈥攊f you believe the hype鈥攖o be defined by self-ownership of content.

Electronics Lab — PHY2213.02

Instructor: Hugh Crowl
Days & Time: MO 1:40pm-5:20pm
Credits: 2

This course will serve as an introduction to working with circuits in a lab setting. We will learn about the relatively simple rules necessary for working with analog circuits and how those rules can be used to build objects of growing complexity. We will then move on to understanding how to build circuits that can measure properties of and interact with their surroundings.

Data Structures and Algorithms — CS4388.01

Instructor: Darcy Otto
Days & Time: TU,FR 2:10pm-4:00pm
Credits: 4

How do we organize data to solve complex problems efficiently? This course studies the fundamental structures and algorithms that form the cornerstone of computational problem-solving. Building upon the programming foundations established in CS1, we will explore how algorithmic thinking and sophisticated data organization enables us to tackle increasingly challenging computational problems.

Linear Algebra: An Introduction — MAT2482.01

Instructor: Joe Mundt
Days & Time: T/Th 6:30PM-8:30PM
Credits: 4

Together with calculus, linear algebra is one of the foundations of higher-level mathematics and its applications. This is NOT just the algebra you know from high school. There are several perspectives one can take on linear algebra: it is a method for handling large systems of linear equations, it is a theory of linear geometry (including in dimensions larger than three), it is matrix algebra, and it is a theoretical structure that appears throughout mathematics, physics, computer science, and statistics.

Sets and Structures — MAT2121.01

Instructor: Andrew McIntyre
Days & Time: MO,TH 1:40pm-3:30pm
Credits: 4

In the eighteenth and nineteenth centuries, mathematics underwent a vast expansion, into new, exciting, and increasingly counter-intuitive realms. The subject risked mystification and mutual incomprehensibility between experts in different sub-fields. In the first part of the twentieth century, a group of French mathematicians, under the pseudonym Bourbaki, undertook an ultimately successful program to use the foundation of set theory to put all of mathematics onto a common conceptual and logical foundation.

Advanced Improvisation for an Age of Uncertainty — APA4212.01
