End of 3rd Year (2)

sorry for being late, lets continue...

First term

• Numerical Analysis (lab and lecture project)

A nice subject, and more than nice :D, but not a suitable Dr. :s , subject is full of approximations :D , it helps when developing something that requires mathematics such as numerical integration, spline and interpolation (find curve given points), representation of floating point in computer, error, etc...

Full of rules, if you could start studying from the beginning alone, it will be useful in Scientific department too ;)
project was to make an application that draws sin/cos function, then choose some points, and let it draw a spline using those points (compare the calculated with the original)

• Prolog (lab and project)

New way of programming :D , backtracking in minimum time, and dealing with laaaarge numbers too

an AI programming language, that has the capability of getting input given some output :D (backtracking and find possible inputs that generate that output), and finding all possible solutions.

final exam is too long, it's all implementing algorithms and though you should memorize it to finish quickly, our exam had one intelligent question,,, like ACM ones, but actually i didn't solve, cuz i had no time to understand it :(

project was to make any visual prolog application :D , XO game,,, or whatever

we implemented dijkstra algorithm graphically

• Software Engineering (lab and project)

Here come the only 7efz subject :D, good Dr. but subject not, in 2nd term comes System Analysis and DB that are much better and easily understood :D

it's concerned with different phases of developing a sytem, and different approaches, and also project management.

lab is Oracle DB ;) and Oracle Form builder (zay el access feeh DB and forms, bas da Oracle ;))

project was to make a system, feeh DB we forms and reports (nafs fekret el access barDo)

we implemented a Stock Brokerage application, i think that was the best project in the first term beside our trials in serial communication using assembly

that's enough now, be back soon isA to talk about 2nd term...
