CS 5012 - Foundations of Computer Science
Provide a foundation in discrete mathematics, data structures, algorithmic design and implementation, computational complexity, parallel computing, and data integrity and consistency for non-CS students. Case studies and exercises will be drawn from real-world examples (e.g., bioinformatics, public health, marketing, and security)
Prerequisite: CS 5010, CS 1110 or equivalent, Math 1210 or equivalent, Math 3351 or equivalent, Math 3100 or equivalent

CS 5014 - Computation as a Research Tool
This course is an introduction to programming for students who will be using computational methods for their research but are not computer science students. No previous programming experience is required. We use a multi-language/multi-domain approach. The first part of the course covers basic programming concepts for a given language. The last third of the course splits into domain specific tracks of interest to students.

CS 5487 - Real-Time Systems
This course presents the underlying theory, concepts, and practice for real-time systems, such as avionics, process control, space travel, mobile computing and ubiquitous computing. The goals of the course include: introducing the unique problems that arise when time constraints are imposed on systems, identifying basic theory and the boundary between what is known today and what is still research, stressing a systems integration viewpoint in the sense of showing how everything fits together rather than presenting a collection of isolated solutions, and addressing multiprocessing and distributed systems. This course also presents some of the basic results from what might be called the classical technology of real-time computing and presents these results in the context of new applications of this technology in ubiquitous/pervasive computer systems. Prerequisite: CS 3330 and CS 4414, knowledge of C or C++, or instructor permission.
