This course focuses on the graphical human-machine interface, covering the principles of windowing systems, graphical interface design and implementation, and processing graphical data. There is an emphasis on medium-scale programming projects with graphical user interfaces using a high-level procedural programming language and concepts such as object-oriented design.
Topics include: Euclid's algorithm, unique factorization moduli arithmetic, Fermat's and Euler's theorems, Chinese remainder theorem, RSA public key encryption, Pollard rho factoring, pseudo primes, error correcting codes, Hamming codes, polynomial rings and quotient rings, field extensions, finite fields and BCH codes.
Introduction to the principles and concepts of the Internet; data communications and digital channel characteristics; networking applications and protocols, client-server paradigm and network programming; reliable data transfer, end-to-end transport; addressing, forwarding and routing, datagram networks; media access control, data link control; selected topics from cloud computing, network security and network management. Concepts are combined with programming and other hands-on assignments to enhance the learning of these topics.
Topics in logic and discrete math aimed at applications in Computer Science. Propositional calculus: truth tables, logical relations, proofs, tautologies, soundness. Predicate calculus: variables, quantifiers, equivalencies. Models of computation: logic circuits, finite automata, Turing machines.
The study of secrecy in digital systems. Methods of keeping information secure from classical systems dating from ancient times to modern systems based on modern mathematics. Basic methods of encryption using public key systems, block ciphers, and stream ciphers. The mathematical tools for the design and analysis of such systems. Topics will include classical cryptography, modern methods of public and private key encryption, authentication and digital signatures, hashing, and passwords.
Hardware and software organization of a typical computer; machine language and assembler language programming, interfacing peripheral devices, and input-output programming; real-time computer applications, laboratory included.
