Professor: Ken Goldberg
Teaching Assistant: TBA

This course explores how databases are designed and implemented, with an emphasis on industrial and commercial applications. We focus on the relational database model and learn the mathematics of relational algebra and structured queries. Students will gain experience with a commercial database management system and will work in teams to design and implement a prototype database for a local organization.

Registration for IEOR 115

NOTE: Due to the size of our laboratory, the class is limited to 50 students. Priority is given to graduating IEOR seniors (who are guaranteed admission and are given course entry codes in advance).

Other students are welcome to come to the first 2 classes: since it's difficult to determine the numbers at registration time, we will give a simple entrance exam to all interested students. Don't worry about studying for this, it's not a test of knowledge but of eligibility and enthusiasm. Remaining class entry codes will be given out in the second class. I realize this is inconvenient but it's the only fair solution.
