As the field of data science grows and expands to new parameters, opening the floor to new disciplines and ideas, so is the Duan Family Center for Computing and Data Sciences at Boston University.<\/p>\n

The CDS program introduced three new courses this semester, giving students an opportunity to learn about relevant topics in data science, including artificial intelligence and algorithms.<\/p>\n

\u201cWith everything happening in the world right now in terms of data and AI, we\u2019re trying to offer courses that will address those topics,\u201d Micah Sieber<\/a>, the director of academic programs at CDS, said.<\/p>\n

In a world that is becoming increasingly more interconnected with technology, these courses are particularly useful, said Aldo Pacchiano<\/a>, an assistant professor at CDS.<\/p>\n

Pacchiano is teaching a new course called CDS DS 592: Special Topics in Mathematical and Computational Sciences. This course, he said, is designed around understanding algorithms, which are the set of instructions a computer uses to make predictions and analyze data.<\/p>\n
