COURSE DESCRIPTION
Data structures are essential building blocks for designing efficient algorithms. Thus, they play a central role in computer science
and are important in many areas of electrical engineering, computational biology, computational finance, etc. They are used in a
variety of applications today including web search (e.g., Google, Bing), social networking (e.g., Facebook, Twitter), embedded
systems (e.g., cell phones, robots), and DNA analysis. This course will introduce the fundamentals of data structures and shall
provide a thorough understanding of systematic ways for organizing data in a computer system. In addition to introducing a variety
of data structures and algorithms, this course will provide exposure to analytical tools for comparing data structures in terms of
their time and space complexities. Moreover, students will appreciate that the right programming structures, abstractions and
algorithms are necessary for improving the efficiency and complexity of computer programs.

COURSE DESCRIPTION
This is a second course in Circuit Analysis. This course covers various network analysis theorems. Circuit analysis is performed in Laplace
Transform domain which enables the students to learn and recognize the importance of poles, zeros and to determine the stability of electrical
circuits. Two port network descriptions in terms of z, y, h, and transmission parameters are also included. Frequency domain and phasor analysis
techniques are also covered to perform sinusoidal steady state circuit analysis. Various frequency response plots like magnitude plots, phase
plots, polar plots, Bode plots etc. are also included; and some elementary passive filters are discussed. Power analysis, the concepts of reactive
power, power factor and power factor correction is in the course.

COURSE OBJECTIVES & DESCRPTION:

This short survey course has clearly defined aims. Conversely, this means that it has its limitations too. Its

overriding aim is to introduce the student to the academic study of IslamIslam here denoting both a religious

system, grounded upon certain normative revealed sources, as well as a civilization unfolding over time as a
complex network of cultures shaped by historical contingencies.

The course remains totally indifferent to the

personal beliefs of the students, to any sectarian identity they espouse, and any doctrinal point of view they hold.
We shall begin by a fundamental methodological question: How does one study a given religious system? What are

the scholarly tools and conceptual frameworks for exploring a civilization radiating from a religious core? What are

Lahore University of Management Sciences

the limitations of the academic study of Islam? In what way is it different from the account and conception of the

believer or, in the case of cultures, of the actor? From here we move on to a historical overview of Islam, looking

at the web of Muslim intellectual, doctrinal, and cultural pluralities, all woven into an unmistakable spirit of
an Islamic identity reverberating through them.

Following this, we survey various local Muslim communities from the perspective of the social

sciences, aiming to understand their diversities, and arriving now at the substantive nucleus of our discoursethe
doctrinal, normative, textual, spiritual, and legal contents of Islam, analytically treated. Then, carrying out an

exploration of Islamic intellectual history, with particular reference to Greek civilization and Alexandrian

Hellenism, we take up a general study of aesthetics in the context of Islamic literary expressions and material

culture, particularly in the realm of art and architecture. The course ends with a discussion of Islam and Muslims in

the contemporary world, looking at the post-17th century revivalist, reform, and modernist movements, the two

World Wars, colonialism, and secularism.

COURSE ETHICS AND DISCIPLINARY ISSUES:

It is advisable that the students first contact the Head Teaching Assistant of the course. In regular matters

for which he/she will have advance approval of the instructors, he/she will try to get back to you directly.

Otherwise, he/she will forward the queries to the respective instructor.

Students are required to complete the readings assigned prior to the class meeting to which they relate.

There will be four unannounced quizzes out of which three best will be taken into account for final grade.

Timely attendance is mandatory, and three un-excused absences will lead to a 50% reduction in your

attendance grade. Any more absences may lead to failure in the course. Late appearances in classes will be

marked as such and the student will not be given full credit for attendance.

Please switch off your mobile phones before entering the class.

In accord with institutional policy, there will be no discrimination in this course on the basis of race,

ethnicity, sex/gender, ability/disability, religion/spiritual beliefs or class. Your political beliefs and moral

values will not be considered relevant for your grading and evaluation.

Cheating, plagiarism, or any other violations of the honour code will be dealt with according to LUMS
policy. For further instructions, please refer to the latest Student Handbook.

COURSE DESCRIPTION
This course aims to introduce students to the history of Pakistan, provide an overview of contending perspectives
on the origins of the country and examine its politics, society and culture. In addition, it engages with several
contemporary issues facing the country including, for example, the state of human rights, economic and human
development and the role of regional and ethnic identities.

COURSE STRUCTURE
The course is roughly divided into 12 themes; 6 historical and 6 contemporary. The class will be divided into 10
groups of 7-8 members each (depending on enrolment) each of which will choose one historical and one
contemporary theme for the reading presentation and the group project respectively. E.g. if a group chooses a
historical topic for the reading presentation, it must select a contemporary topic for the group project and vice
versa.

GROUP READING PRESENTATION
Each group will present on one of the reading themes of the course in the corresponding session. The presentation
will be expected to present the main arguments presented by the author, the gist of the reading, and its analysis.
At least 3-4 members of the group must present while all members are expected to help in making the
presentation.

Lahore University of Management Sciences

GROUP PROJECT
This is an exploratory project (not a research or writing-based one) on topics assigned by the instructor. Similar
to the reading presentation, groups will have around 7-8 members each of which at least 3-4 must present the
project. The project is graded on three fronts: the idea or concept adopted, the project plan, and the final
presentation or video etc. Students will be expected to work on the project throughout the course of the semester
and discuss their progress periodically with the instructor.
QUIZZES
There will be 5 unannounced quizzes in class of which 1 will be dropped. The quizzes will be based on the
readings, slides, lecture notes and/or class discussions. There will be no make-up quizzes.

FINAL EXAM
The final exam will be closed books/closed notes. A major component of this exam will be a subjective, essay
question.
ATTENDANCE
Students are expected to attend all classes. If a student is unable to make it to a session, they must let the
instructor and the TA know beforehand.
