and information about the classes I've taken here.

COURSES
CS
240: Discreet Mathematics, Richard Brualdi
A
required course for me. Very useful information.
CS 540: Introduction to Artificial
intelligence, Chuck Dyer
Somewhat interesting class, focusing on the
technical aspects of the various structures and algorithms currently
used in the field of AI. We implemented various searching algorithms,
as well as a Decision tree and a Neural network for face recognition.
CS 577: Introduction to algorithms, Debora
Joseph
This
class in my opinion was WAY too easy. I didn't attend class at all
after the midterm, because the lectures were so beginner-oriented, and
the grading scheme was such that doing 50% of the work in the class
guaranteed you an A (which I did, of course) I recommend taking this
class with Dieter van Melkebeek if you'd
like to be challenged and really learn something useful.
CS 559: Introduction to computer graphics,
Michael Gleicher
Very fun class.
Most of the value comes from doing the projects. Lectures focus more on
the theory end of things than specific stuff like OpenGL. You can
download my finished project from th
This clast was a blast. Chenney also focused on the theoretical side of things, but we got a LOT of practical knowledge by building a complete game from the ground up.
