15113 SYSTEMS SKILLS IN C

This course is designed to provide a substantial exposure to the C programming language and the Unix programming environment (gcc) for students with prior programming experience but minimal exposure to C. Topics to be covered include arrays, structs and unions, dynamic memory allocation (malloc and free), pointers and pointer arithmetic. This course, along with 15-211, serves as the prerequisite for 15-213. Prerequisites: 15-111 or 15-200.

15211 FUNDAMENTAL DATA STRUCTURE ALGORITHM

Fundamental programming concepts are presented together with supporting theoretical bases and practical applications. This course emphasizes the practical application of techniques for writing and analyzing programs: data abstraction, program verification, and performance analysis. These techniques are applied in the design and analysis of fundamental algorithms and data structures. The course is currently taught in Java. Prerequisites: (21-127) and (15-111 or 15-200).

18202 MATHEMATICS FOUNDATION IN ELECTRICAL ENGINEERING

This course covers topics from engineering mathematics, which serve as foundations for descriptions of electrical engineering devices and systems. It has four major parts: (1) Complex analysis, including complex numbers and complex analytic functions, (2) Ordinary differential equations of first- and second-order; (3) Linear algebra, including matrices, vectors and determinants; (4) Vector calculus, including the vector differential operators gradient, divergence and curl, and vector integral calculus, including multiple integration and integral theorems. Prerequisites: 21-122.

18220 FUNDAMENTALS OF ELECTRICAL ENGINEERING

Electrical engineers control electrical energy by creating systems that process information, convert electrical energy to mechanical motion to do work, generate and distribute power, sense the environment, and transmit & receive signals to communicate. This course will cover the analysis and synthesis of such systems through the study of linear electric circuits. Topics to be covered include: circuit analysis techniques, passive and active components modeling, operational amplifiers, energy storage elements, power analysis, time-response of first- and second-order systems, sinusoidal steady-state response, and frequency domain analysis. The laboratories are designed to give students the opportunity to design, build and operate circuits that individually explore the specific concepts (e.g., digital-to-analog conversion, amplifiers, and signal detection & processing) while collectively leading to a navigation system assembly, demonstration and competition at the end of the term. Prerequisites: 18-100 Corequisites: 18-202.

21257 MODEL METHOD OF OPTIMIZATION

Introduces basic methods of operations research and is intended primarily for Business Administration and Economics majors. Review of linear systems; linear programming, including the simplex algorithm, duality, and sensitivity analysis; the transportation problem; other structured optimization problems. 3 hrs. lec., 1hr. rec. Prerequisites: 06-262 or 18-200 or 18-202 or 21-241 or 21-256 or 21-341.

70122 INTRODUCTION TO ACCOUNTING

This course provides the knowledge and skills necessary for the student to understand financial statements and financial records and make use of the information for management and investment decisions. Topics include an overview of financial statements and business decisions; the balance sheet, the income statement, and the cash flow statement; sales revenue, receivables, and cash; cost of goods sold and inventory; long-lived assets and depreciation, and amortization; current and long-term liabilities; owners? equity; investments in other corporations; an introduction to financial statement analysis; and
international issues dealing with financial statements.
