This course provides an introduction to algorithms and techniques for processing very large data sets, including those that may not be suitable or even available for offline processing. A big data algorithm usually tries to solve a problem in data mining (if one is trying to obtain an appropriate statistical model, or summary features for the data), machine learning (if one is trying to use data samples or data repositories as training sets for discovering models), or online processing of large datasets or data streaming.

56:137:500 Essentials of Computer Science (Camden)

This course targets as its main learning goals, the acquisition of essential computational skills, viz. being able to program and work with models for scientific data, and to organize and visualize such data on computing systems.

The course will provide a detailed introduction to programming in Python (as a representative language widely used by scientists and engineers). Specific programming topics that we will cover during the course will include: control statements; arrays and lists; classes, objects and methods; inheritance; polymorphism; exception handling; file streams and serialization; recursion; searching and sorting.

The topics include distributed, object-oriented, active, deductive and temporal databases, as well as advanced application domains that influence database research such as semantic web, internet, workflow systems, etc

56:198:500 Introduction to Programming for Computational Scientists
This course introduces the basics of modern computer programming to beginning graduate students without a background in computer science. Topics covered are: control statements; arrays and lists; classes, objects and methods; inheritance; polymorphism; exception handling; file streams and serialization; recursion; searching and sorting. Students are required to use an up-to-date integrated development environment (IDE) to complete a number of programming assignments.

16:332:567 Software Engineering
This is a graduate course in software engineering. The key objective of this course is to learn how to design and document complex software using symbolic representations, i.e., UML diagrams. The course covers software life-cycle models and different phases of the software development process.
The course focuses on hands-on development of demonstrable software, which requires a great deal of programming. However, this is not a programming course in the sense that it does not teach any programming language. We are assuming that the student has a solid programming knowledge and is ready to learn best practices and ideas about software development. An ideal background knowledge includes a traditional programming language, such as Java, C++, or C#, and Web programming languages, such as PHP and JavaScript, as well as relational database programming (using SQL).
The key characteristic is having teams of about five students work on a semester-long project. The grading is competitive, with the highest rated project receiving the highest grade and the others being rated relatively to the highest one.

16:198:518 Operating Systems Design
The course covers the basic operating systems concepts (interrupt and system call handling, processes, threads, virtual memory, I/O and file systems), with an emphasis OS design. Each week, an OS concept will be presented, followed by a study of the OS kernel code (from MIT xv6, written in C) that implements that concept, in the subsequent week. There will be reading assignments for each lecture. Five project assignments are meant to deepen the understanding of the OS concepts and their implementation through independent work requiring kernel-level C programming. Students are expected to be comfortable with the use of the C programming language in systems-level programming (equivalent to CS 214) and have undergraduate-level computer-architecture background (equivalent to CS 211).
