Course Description
This course introduces the fundamental concepts of the theory of computer science. What does "computing" mean? Are all "computers" basically the same? Can we tell whether our programs are "correct" - and what does "correct" mean? Can we solve problems in reasonable time, and can we tell whether we can? The course concentrates primarily on conceptual understanding, but adds enough detail to allow students to go on to further courses, and it illustrates how the fundamental concepts are reflected throughout the discipline.

Course Description
This course introduces data structures and algorithms for computer scientists. The course explores a number of fundamental data structures, including arrays linked lists, stacks, queues, trees, hash tables, and graphs. These are presented both abstractly, via the notion abstract data types, and concretely in terms of their implementation in an object-oriented framework. The data structures are discussed and analyzed in terms of efficiency of the basic operations they support and their application to program design problems. Consideration is given to important, fundamental algorithms for searching and sorting data.

Course Description
This course addresses theoretical problems at the interface of game theory and computer science, often inspired by internet applications such as sponsored search, crowdsourcing, and social computing platforms. Game theory studies strategic interactions of multiple agents in situations where the well-being of a single agent depends not only on the agent's own actions, but also on the actions of other agents. The course begins by discussing fundamental concepts from game theory and investigating algorithmic aspects of solution concepts. Then students analyze internet-inspired algorithmic problems from a game-theoretic perspective.

Course Description
Extreme Computing deals with the principles, systems, and algorithms behind web-scale problem solving. This touches upon the technologies and techniques used by companies such as Google, Facebook, and Microsoft, using warehouse-scale computing and massive datasets. The course is made up of three parts: the principles behind extreme computing (cloud computing, scaling, performance, privacy, etc.); supporting infrastructure (distributed file systems, replication, web services); and algorithms (MapReduce, case studies from Natural Language Processing, database query evaluation, machine learning, streaming).
