• CSCI-GA.1170-​001
  DS-GA.1170
  (1225) Fundamental Algorithms  Alexander Alekseyev
  Office Hours W 6:00-8:20PM CIWW 312 Additional information: 05/21/2018 - 08/12/2018 (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.3033-​003
  (6020) Special Topics: Realtime and Big Data Analytics  Suzanne McIntosh
  Office Hours W 6:00-8:20PM CIWW 102 Additional information: 05/21/2018 - 08/12/2018 (Session One through Two)
  

  This course will introduce technologies at the foundation of the Big Data movement that have facilitated scalable management of vast quantities of data collected through realtime and near realtime sensing. We will also explore the tools enabling the acquisition of near realtime data in the social domain, the fusion of those data when in flight and at rest, and their meaningful representation in graphical visualizations. Students are required to complete weekly reading and/or programming assignments and demonstrate mastery of course topics by developing and demonstrating a software project of their choosing. Class time will be set aside for project proposal and final demo.

   

  
  
  Prerequisites: CSCI-GA 2250 or equivalent Operating Systems course; programming experience in C/C++ or Java for assignments and final project; CSCI-GA 2262, CSCI-GA 2620, or undergraduate course in networks. A familiarity with databases and Linux will be useful.
• CSCI-UA.0002-​001
  (2608) Intro To Computer Programming  Joseph Versoza
  Office Hours MTWR 9:00-11:05AM CIWW 101 Additional information: 05/21/2018 - 07/01/2018 (Session One)
  A gentle introduction to the fundamentals of computer programming, which is the foundation of computer science. Students design, write, and debug computer programs. No knowledge of programming is assumed.
  
  Prerequisites: Three years of high school mathematics or equivalent. No prior computing experience is assumed. Students with any programming experience should consult with the department before registering. Students who have taken or are taking Introduction to Computer Science (CSCI-UA 101) will not receive credit for this course. Does not count toward the computer science major; serves as the prerequisite for students with no previous programming experience who want to continue into CSCI-UA 101 and pursue the major.
