  (1052) Fundamental Algorithms  Ernest Davis
  Office Hours W 6:00-8:20PM 60 Fifth Ave C10 Additional information: 05/28/2019 - 08/18/2019 (Session One through Two)
  

  Reviews a number of important algorithms, with emphasis on correctness and efficiency. The topics covered include solution of recurrence equations, sorting algorithms, selection, binary search trees and balanced-tree strategies, tree traversal, partitioning, graphs, spanning trees, shortest paths, connectivity, depth-first and breadth-first search, dynamic programming, and divide-and-conquer techniques.

  
  
  Prerequisites: At least one year of experience with a high-level language such as Pascal, C, C++, or Java; and familiarity with recursive programming methods and with data structures (arrays, pointers, stacks, queues, linked lists, binary trees).
• CSCI-GA.2810-​001
  (1117) Design and Innovation*  Lakshminarayanan Subramanian TW 12:00-2:20PM 60 Fifth Ave 165 Additional information: 05/28/2019 - 07/07/2019 (Session One)
  

  Only open to MS students in the Computing, Entrepreneurship, and Innovation program.

  This is an intensive idea-incubation, computing-centric design class where students will be exposed to a spectrum of tech challenges, latest and future technology trends (using case studies) and will need to iteratively propose and refine bold computing centric ideas for real problems. Students will also initiate the process of translating their ideas to initial prototypes. Right from the beginning, students in the class will form small teams where each team will work on a single project idea that solves an important real world problem. Students will be provided exposure to basic tools and platforms that can be leveraged by individual teams in their project design and implementation. In addition to idea incubation, the class will provide a beginner's background to tech startups including: product development cycle, how to pitch your idea, product market fit, fundraising and venture capital, customer discovery. Teams are expected to constantly interact with other teams to discuss and exchange ideas.

• CSCI-GA.3033-​003
  (1122) Special Topics: Realtime and Big Data Analytics  Suzanne McIntosh
  Office Hours W 6:00-8:20PM 60 Fifth Ave 110 Additional information: 05/28/2019 - 08/18/2019 (Session One through Two)
  

  This course introduces architectures and technologies at the foundation of the Big Data movement. These technologies facilitate scalable management and processing of vast quantities of data collected through realtime and near realtime sensing. We explore tools enabling the acquisition of data in the social domain and the fusion of those data when in flight and at rest using Hadoop and Hadoop-related tools.

  The material covered in this course aligns with the prevailing state of the art in Big Data technologies, which continues to be a rapidly evolving landscape as new technologies emerge and existing ones evolve and mature.

  Students are required to complete weekly reading and/or programming assignments and demonstrate mastery of course topics by designing, developing, and demonstrating an analytics project of their choosing. Class time will be set aside for project proposal and final demo.

  This is an introductory Hadoop course intended for students who have no experience with the Apache Hadoop ecosystem of tools and frameworks.
