techniques and procedures covered in this course to solve practical problems; and write numerical Programmes, such as Mat lab Programmes, to solve the above problems. Indicative Content: Numerical linear algebra, numerical solution of systems of non-linear equations, approximations, Fast Fourier-Transformation, numerical integration, deference equations and numerical solution of ordinary differential equations. Problem solving is an important part of the course. Reference Book: i. R. L. Burden, and D. J, Faires, Numerical Analysis, Brooks/Cole Publishing Co., Pacific Grove, CA, 8th edition, 2001. BSE 1202: Principles of Programming I (4 CU) Course Description: Upon completion of the course, the student should be able to: Demonstrate mastery of basic programming concepts, like Programme structure and control, Application Programme Interface (API), memory management among others; Demonstrate sufficient understanding of Java as a programming language; Develop simple web and stand alone applications in Java; Work with an Integrate Development Kit like NETBEANS with minimal difficulties; and differentiate the various programming languages (i.e., in terms of their strength and weakness). Indicative Content: An introduction to the Java programming language. The course will include an introduction to the concepts of object oriented programming and will show how Java supports this programming paradigm. Students will learn about the Java environment and will write both applets (programs that execute in a Web browser) and applications (stand alone Programme). In addition to learning about basic language statements, students will also learn how Java provides support for such diverse applications as Web pages, multimedia, educational, etc Reference Books: i.

BSE 1204: Introduction to Internet Programming (4 CU) Course Description: On successfully completing this course, students will be able to: Set up a Net development including environment, including MSDE; Apply core ASP.NET technologies to develop Web applications; Author server-side ASP.NET code in C#; Create Web applications are using ADO.NET to interact with SQL Server; and (v) Write ASP.NET pages that integrate into traditional DHTML-driven pages. Indicative Content: ASP.NET development fundamentals, providing hands-on experience through the building of a fully functional time and expense tracking application like TimeEx. Starting with an overview of server-side technologies, it then goes into the C# (C Sharp) programming language commonly used for ASP.NET and database development utilizing MSDE (Microsoft SQL Server Desktop Engine). Particular attention is given to techniques for integrating ASP.NET pages with the advanced client-side (DHTML) technologies covered first. Reference Books: ii. Z.
