FALL 2005 Course Roadmap

Of the courses being offered in Fall 2005, the following are suitable for most incoming MS students: Fundamental Algorithms (G22.1170), Programming Languages (G22.2110), Unix Tools (G22.2245), Operating Systems (G22.2250), Data Communications and Networks (G22.2262), Multimedia (G22.3033-005), and WWW Programming (G22.3033-008).

Students with a strong mathematical background, particularly linear algebra, might also consider Scientific Computing (G22.2112), Computer Graphics (G22.2270), Computer Vision (G22.2271), and Machine Learning (G22.2565).

We strongly recommend that incoming students take either Fundamental Algorithms or Programming Languages in their first semester

Requirement C of the MS requirements specifies that an MS student must pass at least one course in each of two applications areas. The areas are Graphics, Computation for Science and Society, AI, and Databases. The following courses offered this spring (2005) satisfy this requirement:

Graphics: Computer Graphics (G22.2270), Computer Vision (G22.2271) and Multimedia (G22.3033-005).

Computation for Science and Society: Scientific Computing (G22.2112), Topics in Numerical Analysis (G22.2945), Monte Carlo Methods (G22.2960), and Computational Biology (G22.3033-004).

AI: Computer Vision (G22.2271), Machine Learning (G22.2565), Heuristic Problem Solving (G22.2965) and Machine Translation (G22.3033-003),

Databases: Advanced Database Systems (G22.2434) and Distributed Computing (G22.2631).

Requirement D of the MS requirements specifies that an MS student must pass at least one project course. The following courses offered this semester can be used to satisfy that requirement: Compilers (G22.2130), Heuristic Problem Solving (G22.2965), Producing Production Quality Software (G22.3033-006), and Info. Tech. Projects (G22.3812).
