CS Major with Emphasis on Algorithms and Theory
with Emphasis on Algorithms and Theoretical Computer Science
Students who are interested in algorithms and computation theory usually take
two required courses, Introduction to Algorithms (
CS 330)
and Elements of the Theory of Computation (
CS 332),
and a number
of elective courses offered both within our department, and
elsewhere within BU. Here's a list of the elective courses that
students have taken in the past:
Elective courses in CS
CS530 Algorithms
CS532
Computational Geometry
CS535 Complexity Theory
CS537 Randomness in Computing
CS542
Machine Learning
CS 549 Pattern Matching and Pattern Detection Algorithms
CS499 Directed study
CS 401 & 402 Senior Independent Work
Related elective courses in other departments/colleges at BU
CAS MA 531 Computability and Logic
CAS MA 532 Foundations of Mathematics
CAS MA 539 Methods of Scientific Computing
ENG EN 727 Coding Theory
ENG SC 700 Modern Information Protocols
ENG SC 730 Information Theory
Other available resources at BU
Almost every Friday afternoon during the school year there is a seminar presented
on a topic of current interest in theoretical computer science.
