Cs 499/699: Logic For Computer Scientists, Pascal Hitzler Apr 2010

Cs 499/699: Logic For Computer Scientists, Pascal Hitzler

Computer Science & Engineering Syllabi

Logic is often called the Calculus of Computer Science. Indeed, logic permeates most areas of Computer Science in one way or the other, sometimes more prominently, and sometimes as motivational or formal underpinning. Examples are database schema, program verification, semantics of programming languages, computer security, artificial intelligence, cognitive robotics, Web information systems, computer hardware circuitry, or modeling in software engineering.


Cs 740: Algorithms, Complexity And The Theory Of Computability, Pascal Hitzler Apr 2010

Cs 740: Algorithms, Complexity And The Theory Of Computability, Pascal Hitzler

Computer Science & Engineering Syllabi

What does it mean to say that some computational problem is intrinsically more difficult than some other problem? How can I claim that I have found a good algorithmic solution? The study of these questions gives rise to an area of Theoretical Computer Science called Complexity Theory, which is based on a systematic and thorough formal study of the complexity of problems with respect to their algorithmic solvability, using Turing machines as main conceptual tool. In this class, we will understand how problem and algorithmic complexity is measured, and discuss some of the main complexity classes arising from this study. …
