In this course we take this idea one step further and use algorithmic problem solving as way to hone programming skills. Students will use the material covered in the data structures and algorithms courses and learn new algorithmic techniques to solve challenging problems quickly. Each week will be devoted to a particular type of algorithm. Weekly problem sets will reinforce the lecture, and require students to implement their solutions in Java or C++.

Students completing this course will be well prepared to participate in programming competitions such as the ACM Inter-Collegiate Programming Contest, TopCoder, and Google's Code Jam.

Prerequisites: CSCI-UA.0201 Computer Systems Organization, CSCI-UA.0310 Basic Algorithms. Student must also register for a Recitation section.
CSCI-UA.0480-063
(23115) Special Topics: Introduction to Computer Security Joseph Bonneau MW 2:00-3:15PM CIWW 109

This course will cover basic principles of computer security and security engineering. To facilitate understanding, this course will consider security both from an attacker's perspective (threat modeling) and the defender's perspective (building and deploying secure systems). Specific topics will include operating system security, network security, web security, and mobile device security. Course projects will focus both on writing secure code and exploiting insecure code.

Prerequisites: CSCI-UA 201 Computer Systems Organization with a grade of C or better. Recommended: Operating Systems (CSCI-UA.202)
