Prerequisites: Successful completion of CS 101 or 125 or prior programming experience in Python, C, C++ or Java; as well as successful completion of Math 347 (or CS 173). This course is designed for undergraduate Mathematics majors and has the following goals: (i) improve programming skill and algorithmic thinking; (ii) prepare for industrial computational math work; (iii) prepare for future math courses by using computation to play with examples; and (iv) prepare for research in mathematics using a computer as a tool. This is a project-based hands-on course with lecture discussion twice a week and a project lab once a week. Topics include graph algorithms and computations on graphs, image analysis, computational topology, topological data analysis, computer algebra, cryptography algorithms, analysis of tabular data, neural networks and introduction to qubits for quantum computing. Programming will be done in Python and its extension that the SageMath environment provides. See https://faculty.math.illinois.edu/~hirani/teaching/490sp22/index.html for more details. Restriction(s): Restricted to Mathematics major(s).
