Computer Science and Software Engineering 1
Computer Science and Software Engineering 1 Computer Science and Software Engineering Software Engineering The focus of the software engineering curriculum, which leads to the bachelor of software engineering, is on the analysis, design, verification, validation, construction, application, and maintenance of software systems. The degree program prepares students for professional careers and graduate study with a balance of computer science theory and practical application of software engineering methodology using modern software engineering environments and tools. The curriculum is based on a strong core of topics including software modeling and design, construction, process and quality assurance, intelligent and interactive systems, networks, operating systems, and computer architecture. The curriculum also enriches each student’s general education with a range of courses from science, mathematics, the humanities and the social sciences. Through advanced elective courses, the curriculum allows students to specialize in core areas of computer science and software engineering. Engineering design theory and methodology, as they apply to software systems, form an integral part of the curriculum, beginning with the first course in computing and culminating with a comprehensive senior design project, which gives students the opportunity to work in one or more significant application domains. The curriculum also emphasizes oral and written communication skills, the importance of ethical behavior, and the need for continual, life-long learning. The overall educational objectives of the Software Engineering program are for graduates of the program to attain success in their chosen profession and/or post-undergraduate studies. The undergraduate Software Engineering program is accredited by the Engineering Accreditation Commission of ABET, http:// www.abet.org.

Rendering Hypercomplex Fractals by Anthony Atella An Honors Project Submitted in Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements for Honors in The Department of Mathematics and Computer Science The School of Arts and Sciences Rhode Island College 2018 Abstract Fractal mathematics and geometry are useful for applications in science, engineering, and art, but acquiring the tools to explore and graph fractals can be frustrating. Tools available online have limited fractals, rendering methods, and shaders. They often fail to abstract these concepts in a reusable way. This means that multiple programs and interfaces must be learned and used to fully explore the topic. Chaos is an abstract fractal geometry rendering program created to solve this problem. This application builds off previous work done by myself and others [1] to create an extensible, abstract solution to rendering fractals. This paper covers what fractals are, how they are rendered and colored, implementation, issues that were encountered, and finally planned future improvements.

Lecture 9: Newton Method 9.1 Motivation 9.2 History
10-725: Convex Optimization Fall 2013 Lecture 9: Newton Method Lecturer: Barnabas Poczos/Ryan Tibshirani Scribes: Wen-Sheng Chu, Shu-Hao Yu Note: LaTeX template courtesy of UC Berkeley EECS dept. 9.1 Motivation Newton method is originally developed for finding a root of a function. It is also known as Newton- Raphson method. The problem can be formulated as, given a function f : R ! R, finding the point x? such that f(x?) = 0. Figure 9.1 illustrates another motivation of Newton method. Given a function f, we want to approximate it at point x with a quadratic function fb(x). We move our the next step determined by the optimum of fb. Figure 9.1: Motivation for quadratic approximation of a function. 9.2 History Babylonian people first applied the Newton method to find the square root of a positive number S 2 R+. The problem can be posed as solving the equation f(x) = x2 − S = 0. They realized the solution can be achieved by applying the iterative update rule: 2 1 S f(xk) xk − S xn+1 = (xk + ) = xk − 0 = xk − : (9.1) 2 xk f (xk) 2xk This update rule converges to the square root of S, which turns out to be a special case of Newton method. This could be the first application of Newton method. The starting point affects the convergence of the Babylonian's method for finding the square root. Figure 9.2 shows an example of solving the square root for S = 100. x- and y-axes represent the number of iterations and the variable, respectively.

Generating Fractals Using Complex Functions
Generating Fractals Using Complex Functions Avery Wengler and Eric Wasser What is a Fractal? ● Fractals are infinitely complex patterns that are self-similar across different scales. ● Created by repeating simple processes over and over in a feedback loop. ● Often represented on the complex plane as 2-dimensional images Where do we find fractals? Fractals in Nature Lungs Neurons from the Oak Tree human cortex Regardless of scale, these patterns are all formed by repeating a simple branching process. Geometric Fractals “A rough or fragmented geometric shape that can be split into parts, each of which is (at least approximately) a reduced-size copy of the whole.” Mandelbrot (1983) The Sierpinski Triangle Algebraic Fractals ● Fractals created by repeatedly calculating a simple equation over and over. ● Were discovered later because computers were needed to explore them ● Examples: ○ Mandelbrot Set ○ Julia Set ○ Burning Ship Fractal Mandelbrot Set ● Benoit Mandelbrot discovered this set in 1980, shortly after the invention of the personal computer 2 ● zn+1=zn + c ● That is, a complex number c is part of the Mandelbrot set if, when starting with z0 = 0 and applying the iteration repeatedly, the absolute value of zn remains bounded however large n gets. Animation based on a static number of iterations per pixel. The Mandelbrot set is the complex numbers c for which the sequence ( c, c² + c, (c²+c)² + c, ((c²+c)²+c)² + c, (((c²+c)²+c)²+c)² + c, ...) does not approach infinity. Julia Set ● Closely related to the Mandelbrot fractal ● Complementary to the Fatou Set Featherino Fractal Newton’s method for the roots of a real valued function Burning Ship Fractal z2 Mandelbrot Render Generic Mandelbrot set.

However, for thousands of years, the formula fa- voured by almost every culture was the pyramid.

This includes the hardware and software systems used to make these images. The task of producing photo-realistic images is an extremely complex one, but this is a field that is in great demand because of the nearly limitless variety of applications. The field of computer graphics has grown enormously over the past 10–20 years, and many software systems have been developed for generating computer graphics of various sorts. This can include systems for producing 3-dimensional models of the scene to be drawn, the rendering software for drawing the images, and the associated user- interface software and hardware.
