The undergraduate courses I teach fall into three categories:
basic programming (introduction, tools, and data structures),
computational math (computational geometry, symbolic computation,
numerical analysis), and industrial math & computation.
The latter has been developed
into a regular undergraduate MCS course (MCS 472).
The graduate seminar MCS 595 which ran in Fall 2003 through Spring 2006
provided lecture notes for the graduate course MCS 563
"Analytic Symbolic Computation", offered in Fall 2004, Spring 2007,
Spring 2009, and Spring 2011.
In Spring 2006 and Spring 2012, I taught an introduction to high
performance computing (better known as supercomputing).
A third graduate course offered in Fall 2011, Fall 2012, and Fall 2013
is Mathematical, Statistical and Scientific Software (MCS 507).
