• CSCI-GA.1180-​001
  (1102) Mathematical Techniques For CS Applications  Alexander Alekseyev
  Office Hours M 6:00-8:20PM 60 Fifth Ave C12 Additional information: 05/28/2019 - 08/18/2019 (Session One through Two)
  An introduction to theory, computational techniques, and applications of linear algebra, probability and statistics. These three areas of continuous mathematics are critical in many parts of computer science, including machine learning, scientific computing, computer vision, computational biology, natural language processing, and computer graphics. The course teaches a specialized language for mathematical computation, such as Matlab, and discusses how the language can be used for computation and for graphical output. No prior knowledge of linear algebra, probability, or statistics is assumed.
• CSCI-GA.2250-​001
  (1053) Operating Systems  Hubertus Franke
  Office Hours M 6:00-8:20PM Silv 414 Additional information: 05/28/2019 - 08/18/2019 (Session One through Two)
  The topics covered include a review of linkers and loaders and the high-level design of key operating systems concepts such as process scheduling and synchronization; deadlocks and their prevention; memory management, including (demand) paging and segmentation; and I/O and file systems, with examples from Unix/Linux and Windows. Programming assignments may require C, C++, Java, or C#.
• CSCI-GA.3812-​001
  (1076) Information Technology Projects *  Jean-Claude Franchitti M 5:30-9:00PM 60 Fifth Ave 110 Additional information: 05/28/2019 - 08/18/2019 (Session One through Two)
  

  This is a capstone course that connects students directly with real-world information technology problems. The goal of this course is to teach the skills needed for success in real-world information technology via a combination of classroom lectures and practical experience with large projects that have been specified by local “clients.” The typical clients are primarily companies, but can also be government agencies or nonprofit organizations. Each project lasts for the entire semester and is designed to involve the full software project life cycle. Examples of such projects are development of software to solve a business problem, including specifying requirements, writing and testing prototype code, and writing a final report; and evaluation of commercial software to be purchased to address a business problem, including gathering requirements, designing an architecture to connect the new software with existing systems, and assessing the suitability of available software products.
