7120  Information-Based Complexity (3) Prerequisite: CP SC 3200 and MATH 2270 and MATH 3210.
   Analysis of optimal computational methods for continuous problems. Introduction to the general worst case theory of optimal algorithms, linear problems, and spline algorithms as well as selected nonlinear problems. Examples include optimal integration, approximation, nonlinear zero finding, and fixed points.

7240  Sinc Methods (3) Prerequisite: CP SC 5210/6210 or MATH 5600 or 5610.
   Sinc methods for solving difficult computational problems, such as partial differential and integral equation problems, that arise in science and engineering research. Emphasis on parallel computation. Applications vary, depending on participants in the class. Whenever possible in their areas of research, students are given projects that lead to publishable research articles.

7310  Advanced Robotics (3) Cross listed as ME EN 7230. Prerequisite: CP SC 5310/6310 or ME EN 5220/6220.
   Covers the kinematics, dynamics, and control of robotic manipulators. Projects controlling robots will be an integral part of the course.

7460  Advanced Operating Systems (3) Prerequisite: CP SC 5460 and 5480/6480.
   Practical distributed operating systems concepts from basics through the state of the art. Topics include interprocess communication, client-server systems, distributed shared memory, distributed file systems, distributed databases, portable computing, software fault tolerance, and wide area (e.g., Web) applications. Work includes individual oral presentations, a group project, and a written research report.
