Practical experience in the management of software development projects. Managing people, coaching, mentoring, planning, scheduling, evaluation, negotiation, and expectation management are explored. The focus is on the power of communication.

Introduction to mathematical logic: propositional logic, first-order logic, completemess, emphasizing applications to computer science including SAT solvers, model checking, and resolution theorem proving.

Embedded Computational Systems is a hands-on laboratory for building integrated systems. We develop analytical skills and discuss sensors, motor drivers, I/O, control logic, and operating systems for embedded applications. Students build several individual projects and invent one integrated, semester-long team project (robot insects and stigmergy, Trinity fire fighting challenge).

Computing has become data-driven, and databases are now at the heart of commercial applications. The purpose of this course is to provide a comprehensive introduction to the use of data management systems within the context of various applications. Some of the covered topics include application-driven database design, schema refinement, implementation of basic transactions, data on the web, and data visualization. This course counts as a CS Elective toward the CMPSCI major (BA/BS).

Mathematical methods for dealing with uncertainty. Basic counting problems. Discrete probablitlity, expected value and variance. Random number generators and Monte Carlo simulation. Bayesian reasoning, naive Bayes classifiers. Markov processes. Programming projects.

A brief introduction to the C programming language for students with a good working knowledge of Java and data structures. This course is good preparation for CMPSCI 230 and courses that use C and C++. Prerequisites: CMPSCI 187 or ECE 242 or permission of instructor. This course is for CMPSCI minors and majors only, but it does not count towards either degree.

An introduction to computer programming with multimedia applications. Students will create Python programs to process image, video, and audio data. No prior programming experience expected. Not open to CMPSCI majors.

Provides the pianist with systematic practice in the various skills needed for fluent sight-reading. Exercises stress rapid eye movement, touch and transposition as a means to read by intervals and patterns rather than by individual notes. Sight reading repertoire given in a well-graded progressive order and analyzed for note and chord patterns. Two-semester course.
