Course Material
Textbooks
Following book is required for this course. We will use the author slides during the lectures. Assignments/labs are also based on the book problems. The chapter end exercises include several problems that are useful to prepare for the final exam and quizzes.
• Fundamentals of Database Systems, 7/E BY Ramez Elmasri and Shamkant B. Navathe; ISBN: 9780133971224
Computer and other Electronic Equipment
• Students will be required to perform practical assignments/exercises on their personal computers. This might include the use of Linux, virtual machines, MySQL, Java. Running a virtual machine requires significant memory, therefore, students must ensure that they have sufficient computational resources available; 8 GB of RAM should be fine, but 4 GB could be slow.
• Exams/quizzes involve basic mathematical calculations for which the use of basic scientific calculator is recommended.
