Stewart's Focus on 3d Game Programming for CS

GMCS 425 CS lab Opens Sept 07


3D Game Programming and Simulation [ Spr 2008 ]

SDSU Spr '08 course - third time taught at SDSU!

CS 524 Compiler Construction

Spring '08 course for computer science students who wish to learn how this essential programming tool, the compiler, accomplishes its many, varied tasks (efficiently). This is a course with a nicely balanced focus on practice (code writing) and theory (recognizing and parsing languages to translate between a higher level language and assembly language). Our text book is the 2006 [Dragon Book 2nd Ed.].


CS440 Social and Ethical Issues in Computing

In Fall 07, Stewart presented this innovative coarse allowing students to investigate, discuss and explore the deeper possibilities that a career in Computer Science may present for them. Our textbook is Gift of Fire by Baase and the curriculum is available by the first meeting of class on 27Aug07. Hope to see you then.

SDSU Fall '07 course. Impact of computers, applications, and benefits, copyright, privacy, computer crime, constitutional issues, risks of computer failures, evaluating reliability of computer models, trade and communications in the global village, computers in the workplace, responsibilities of the computer professional.

CS 310 Data Structures

Fall 2007 - CS 310 is a fundamental, required upper division course in the Computer Science major which builds on a student programming background in an Object Oriented Programming language, Java, to formalize the understanding of data structures and the algorithms that effectively manipulate them on a computer.

Stewart taught CS 310 Data Structures in Fall 07. This is one of the fundamental courses for computer science majors, as well as for majors from other departments who already have a reasonable background in programming in Java 5. Our text book is Data Structures and Abstractions wieh Java, 2nd Ed, by Carrano. There are significant programming assignments along with lecture and discussion of the ideas for effective creation and use of data structures, as well as consideration of their efficiencies in the run-time environment.


GS100 University Seminar for Freshman Success

Fall04 University seminar is a one unit pass/fail course designed to acclimate students to university life. By the end of the semester, you should "know the ropes" of the university, have been exposed to strategies for college success, and started to build a peer group.

CS 575 Supercomputing for the Sciences

Fall 2003 - CS 575 is an interdisciplinary course to introduce students in the sciences, engineering and other disciplines to the world of high performance computing using campus computers and the supercomputers at the San Diego Supercomputer Center (SDSC). Additional architectures may also be explored. The computing projects have a goal to effectively use, by the end of the course, MPI on Rohan as well as MPI on the IBM SP, Blue Horizon. Prerequisites: Programming background in C or Fortran 90.

CS 205 Introduction to Computational Programming and Visualization

Spring 1998 - The three-legged stool of computational science links theory (traditional classroom), experimentation (science laboratory) and computational analysis (computer laboratory). This course introduces and develops the skills for the computer laboratory. MATLAB provides a programming platform in a language closely related to C, as well as a graphics platform for displaying the results of computations. Modular programming problems will allow students to focus on individual tasks in the software development cycle. The tools provided by MATLAB to aid with the user interface are used extensively to provide a way to develop programs that will run on several computing platforms, from the Macintosh and IBM/PC to the Sun Sparc Workstation. Problem solving skills are developed through computational experiments. Writing skills are enhanced through the student's written lab reports.
