  Operating Systems Design

  CSCI 315

  The operating system (OS) stands between all user application programs and the limited hardware resources (from CPU time to I/O devices), and therefore is a key component in any computing system. Processes and threads, scheduling, synchronization, memory management and file systems, with hands-on systems programming.

  Nand to Tetris

  ECEG 431

  Build a complete computer from NAND gates up, through logic, a CPU and assembler, a virtual machine and compiler, and an operating system, then play games on it.

  Digital Image Processing

  CSCI 365

  Imaging is everywhere! In this course, we will cover broadly the acquisition, processing, and analysis of digital images, covering topics ranging from the human visual system, to image and video compression algorithms, to machine learning and neural nets for automatic image understanding. Using my open DIP in Python book.

  Data Structures and Algorithms in Python

  CSCI 204

  Computers are everywhere, and everywhere they are they deal with massive amounts of stuff (read: data)! Data Structures & Algorithms is about the efficient interaction with, and manipulation of, collections of stuff! From arrays and linked lists to stacks, queues, trees, heaps and hash tables, with recursion, sorting, searching and analysis of running time. Using Canning et al.'s textbook.

Past courses

Archived course pages, by school. For most courses after 2009, only the course page and schedule were kept, so many links to lectures and assignments inside them no longer work.

Also: information on programming contests.
