include data preparation, association rules, classification, clustering, scalability,
time-series analysis and prediction, data mining applications, etc.

COSC 635 ADVANCED WIRELESS SECURITY
Prerequisites: COSC 535
Credits: 3
This course covers wireless networking security at the graduate level. Students
will achieve a solid understanding of wireless networking, security issues in
wireless networks and how to mitigate the associated risks. At the completion
of the course, students will have a thorough understanding of how to better
secure various networks such as, ad hoc wireless networks, sensor networks
and mobile wireless networks.
COSC 641 NUMERICAL ANALYSIS II
Prerequisites: COSC 541
Credits: 3
This course is a continuation of COSC 541. The topics include numerical
differentiation and integration; the solution of initial value and boundary
ordinary differential equations; methods of solving nonlinear systems of
equations; other topics as time permits.

COSC 645 APPLIED CRYPTOGRAPHY
Prerequisites: COSC 535
Credits: 3
This course teaches students some of the basic paradigms and principles of
modern cryptography and their applications. After mathematical preliminaries
from algebra and number theory, we will explore the following topics in the
field: foundations of cryptography, public key cryptography, pseudorandom
generators, elliptic curve cryptography, and fundamental limits to information
operations.

COSC 650 PATTERN RECOGNITION I
Prerequisites: COSC 528
Credits: 3
This course provides students with an introduction to the statistical inference
theory that is fundamental to the area of pattern recognition and computer
vision. The main topics include Baye classification, construction of linear
classifiers, parameter estimation and nonparametric estimation of probability
density functions, classifiers evaluation and feature selection.
