Briefing on DDP in Math/Applied Math and

Computer Science

July 3, 2007

Introduction

• Jointly offered by FoS and SoC

• From AY 2007/2008

• Two specializations (optional yet key part of DDP)– Algorithms and Computation– Multimedia Modeling

Why DDP?

Common R&D Frontiers

– Computational Complexity– Design & Analysis of Algorithms– Optimization Theory and Algorithms– Mathematical Modelling, Computer Simulation– Geometric Modelling– Computer Graphics and Animation

Why DDP?

• Graduates will be equally well-versed in– advanced software development – advanced mathematical modelling and analysis

• In demand by top technology companies, research and academic institutions.– Algorithms and Computation for top-end technology

companies eg: Google, Microsoft, Yahoo, PSA, DSTA, ILOG – Multimedia Modelling for high-end IDM industry eg: Lucasfilm, LucasArt, EA (Electronic Arts), Koei,

EggStory

Specialization1. Student can choose an area of specialization

“Algorithms and Computation” or “Multimedia Modelling”

2. From the appropriate specialization list– For Double Honours students, choose at least 32 MCs from

the list– For Single Honours students, choose at least 28 MCs from the

list– At least 12 MCs from each department

3. Integrated Honours Project (for Double Honours)– Take a specially proposed Integrated Honours Project– Satisfies requirements of both degrees

Curriculum Requirements(Double Honours)

• ULR (12 MCs)– General education: 8MC– Singapore Studies: 4MC

• FoS Faculty Requirements: 8MC (+CS1101, CS1102) • Double count 32 MCs for both programs

– CS1231 Discrete Structures– MA1101R Linear Algebra I– MA1102R Calculus– ST2131/MA2216 Probability– CS3230 Design and Analysis of Algorithms– CS4101/MA4199 Integrated Honours Project
