Some I can think of:
- Automata theory
- Complexity theory (P vs NP stuff, not the one from leetcode problems)
- Verification
- Optimization using stuff like genetic algorithms, ant-colony algorithms, particle swarm, simulated annealing, etc. Not sure how to call that area. In my case it was an AI course.
- Fuzzy logic
- Scientific computing and Numerical analysis (CFD, finite elements, etc)
- Information theory
- kingkongjaffa 6y ago> - Scientific computing and Numerical analysis (CFD, finite elements, etc) Yes please, if we could have more software engineers working on mechanical/aeronautical/civil/<physical> engineering tools that would be great. Currently the state of the art takes a long time to get out of PHDs and into industry, and when it does it is in the hands of a few companies that sell expensive software licenses. The likes of at Ansys, Siemens (NX), CD-adapco, You can access FOSS tools like open-foam but the average engineer doesn't have the skillset to also wrangle the tool as well as their domain problem. An area I was always fascinated with but never had chance to dig into it was topology optimization to generate structures (or flow paths) to accomodate some given boundaries and physics. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Topology_optimization https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Topology_optimization

That was my favorite subject in college and I wanted to pursue that area but sadly we didn't have any experts in the CS department. All of them were from the Mechanical Engineering department and they were extremely disconnected.
