CS 252 Algorithms 6 credits
A course on techniques used in the design and analysis of efficient algorithms. We will cover several major algorithmic design paradigms (greedy algorithms, dynamic programming, divide and conquer, and network flow). Along the way, we will explore the application of these techniques to a variety of domains (natural language processing, economics, computational biology, and data mining, for example). As time permits, we will include supplementary topics like randomized algorithms, advanced data structures, and amortized analysis.

CS 254 Computability and Complexity 6 credits
An introduction to the theory of computation. What problems can and cannot be solved efficiently by computers? What problems cannot be solved by computers, period? Topics include formal models of computation, including finite-state automata, pushdown automata, and Turing machines; formal languages, including regular expressions and context-free grammars; computability and uncomputability; and computational complexity, particularly NP-completeness.

CS 327* Introduction to Robotics (*=Junior Seminar) 6 credits
Have you ever wondered how a robotic vacuum is able to navigate back to its charger after cleaning? In this course we will explore concepts of robotic systems including: kinematics, sensors and perception, path planning, and control. In addition to learning the theory behind these topics, students will have the opportunity to design, program, and deploy behaviors for a mobile robot. This course emphasizes technical communication, including both writing and speaking components.

CS 400 Integrative Exercise 3 credits
Beginning with the prototypes developed in the Senior Seminar (CS 399), project teams will complete their project and present it to the department. Required of all senior majors. Each CS 400 is paired with a particular section of CS 399, and the prerequisite for CS 400 must be filled by satisfactory completion of that CS 399.
