    • My contribution is primarily focused on the computer science curriculum development.During 1982–1990, I have been a member of The Computer Science Curriculum Committee (chairman of the Committee during the period 1986–88). Below is a summaryof activities in which I have been closely involved.

  • Courses Developed
    • COSC 1020.03 Introduction to Computer Science I
      COSC 1030.03 Introduction to Computer Science II
      COSC 2060.06 Data Structures
      COSC/MATH 3241.03 Introduction to Numerical Computations I
      resulted from first half of formerly COSC 3240.06 supplemented with more linear algebra computations and spline interpolation.
      COSC/MATH 3242.03 Introduction to Numerical Computations II
      resulted from second half of formerly COSC 3240.06 supplemented with optimization of functions of several variables and nonlinear equations.
      COSC 4100.03B Numerical Nonlinear Optimization and Equations Special Topics given in 1985–86 and 1986–87.
      MATH 6940.03B A & B Constrained Nonlinear Programming I & II
      Advanced Topics in Computer Science given to one Mathematics graduate student in 1985. The content was later integrated with COSC
      4100.03B above to form the graduate course COSC 5222.03.
      COSC 5211.03 Numerical Linear Algebra
