Computer Science and IT (general) - Open Courseware (OCW)

Introduction to Computers

introduction for non-computer science students, gentler, lighter survey course without delving too much into technical details, also examines computers from the perspective on how they influence society

Information and Entropy

ultimate limits to communication and computation, emphasis on physical nature of information and information processing: information and computation, digital signals, codes and compression, applications (biological representations of information, logic circuits, computer architectures, and algorithmic information, noise, probability, error correction, reversible and irreversible operations, physics of computation, quantum computation), concept of entropy applied to channel capacity and second law of thermodynamics

Design and Analysis of Algorithms

Iterative Algorithms & Loop Invariants, Recursion, Optimization Problems, slides (Iterative Technique, Recursion, Searching Graphs, Network Flows, Greedy Algorithms, Recursive Back Tracking and Dynamic Programming, NP-Completeness, Lower Bounds & Models, Review)

******* Candy Button Paper and Turing Machines ******
