CMPT 360 - Comparative Programming Languages | 2026-2027

The history, development, and design principles for programming notations. The design and internal operations of the major notational categories are examined in detail. Students are expected to become proficient in at least four languages they have not previously learned, typically chosen from historical, modern working, and cutting edge languages and from among such (non-exclusive) categories as Algol-descended, functional, scripting, Web-based, modular, application-specific, visual, and object oriented.

CMPT 345 - Simulation & Modeling | 2026-2027

This course is designed to give students the ability to analyze, formulate, and program problems related to discrete simulation methods. The course introduces students to queuing theory and some commonly used continuous and discrete statistical distributions. By the end of the course, students are able to simulate real world computer systems and industrial manufacturing systems.

CMPT 340 - Discrete Structures & Computing | 2026-2027

This is a second course in the topics of pure mathematics, particularly those most commonly used in the study of computing science and related applications. It includes proof techniques, models of computation, formal languages, analysis of algorithms, trees and advanced general graph theory with applications, finite state and automata theory, encryption, and an elementary introduction to mathematical structures such as groups, rings, and fields.

CMPT 327 - Numerical Analysis | 2026-2027

This course covers numerical techniques for solving problems in applied mathematics, including error analysis, roots of equations, interpolation, numerical differentiation and integration, ordinary differential equations, matrix methods and selected topics from among: eigenvalues, approximation theory, non-linear systems, boundary-value problems, numerical solution of partial differential equations.

CMPT 317 - Scientific Computation | 2026-2027

Symbolic and numerical computations used in scientific modelling based on Calculus and Linear Algebra, with emphasis on applications in physics and biology. Topics include error analysis, linear systems, roots of equations, interpolation, numerical differentiation, and integration. Further topics may include: eigenvalues and singular values, approximation theory, and non-linear systems.
