- Overview: Emerging technologies, such as machine learning,
quantum computing, modern cryptography, and big data analysis, have
shown increasing significance of mathematical skills that go beyond
a conventional discrete math course. Probability theory and linear
algebra are evidently among the most essential. This course
synthesizes fundamental theories and tools of probability and
linear algebra with a slightly heavier weight on probability
theory, and showcases applications in various topics in computer
science. It aims to build a stronger foundation to facilitate
future exploration in the emerging technologies.
- Prerequisite: CS 350. This course is theoretical in nature and
contains extensive practice on math and analytical problems as well
as writing mathematical proofs.
- Text: No required text. See Resource
page for suggested texts
and additional useful materials.
