CS1: Higher Computing - Richard Buckland UNSW

This is the introductory course for computer science at UNSW.
This course consists of three strands: programming, systems, and general computer-science literacy.
The programming strand is further divided into two parts. For the first half of the course we cover small scale programming, in the second half we look at how to effectively use teams to produce more substantial software.
In the systems strand we will look at how computers work. Concentrating on microprocessors, memory, and machine code.
In the literacy strand we will look at topics drawn from: computing history, algorithms, WWW programming, ethics and law, cryptography and security, and other topics of general interest.
The strands will be covered in an intermingled fashion.

The following course, "CS2: Data Structures and Algorithms", will be recorded and posted in semester 2 of 2009.

CS3: Design in Computing - Richard Buckland UNSW

Introduction to Java, OO Design, Algorithm Design for second year programmers. Anyone is welcome to access the course materials and teach yourself this course at www.openlearning.net

These are low res lightly edited draft versions of the lectures from 2010 which are currently being used in Comp2911.

I'll eventually edit them and post better quality versions. But you are welcome to explore here if you want an advance peek. (Sorry about all the pauses and the ums.)

Let me know if you find them useful - if there is enough interest I'll do it faster.

A first course in Linear Algebra - N J Wildberger

This course on Linear Algebra is meant for first year undergraduates or college students. It presents the subject in a visual geometric way, with special orientation to applications and understanding of key concepts.

The subject naturally sits inside affine geometry, which is the natural setting for vectors. Flexibility in choosing coordinate frameworks is important for understanding the subject. Determinants also play a key role, and these are introduced in the context of multi-vectors in the sense of Grassmann.

The course features a careful treatment of polynomial spaces, with applications to Stirling numbers and cubic splines.

NJ Wildberger is also the developer of Rational Trigonometry: a new and better way of learning and using trigonometry---see his WildTrig YouTube series under user `njwildberger'. There you can also find his series on Algebraic Topology, History of Mathematics and Universal Hyperbolic Geometry.

Engineering Mathematics

Playlist of solved problems and examples from engineering mathematics, presented by Dr Chris Tisdell, UNSW, Sydney. Topics covered will include important aspects of applied mathematics used in engineering, such as: multivariable calculus; vector calculus; differential equations; Laplace transforms; Fourier series.



Dr Chris Tisdell is Senior Lecturer in Applied Mathematics.

ELEC3104 Digital Signal Processing by Prof. E. Ambikairajah

Signal Processing is the process of measuring, manipulating or analysing information. Signals of interest include biomedical data, audio, still or moving images, radar, and even DNA. Filtering techniques can be crucial in revealing and interpreting information present in a signal. ELEC3104 Digital Signal Processing is an introductory signal processing course which takes students through the steps necessary to design and implement filters for a range of signals.

CS2: Data Structures and Algorithms - Richard Buckland

These are the 2009 lectures of COMP1927 Algorithms and Data Structures, aka Computing2 the second computing course taken by first year computing students at UNSW. This course follows immediately on from COMP1917 (also available on YouTube).

These lectures were recorded August-November 2009 and are gradually being uploaded to youtube.

A selection of the course material is available at www.openlearning.net All of the course material will eventually be available (once all the videos are posted)

This course is followed by COMP2911 which looks at Design in computing, including OO design and algorithm design. In the first half of 2010 Richard's lectures for this course were also be recorded and will be posted next.
