Course description:
This course provides an introduction to the modern study of computer algorithms. Through this course students should be able to:
Analyze algorithm performance using complexity measurement.
Master major algorithm design techniques such as divide and conquer, greedy and dynamic programming.
Apply above approaches to solve a variety of practical problems such as sorting and selection, graph problems, and other optimization problems.
Understand the theory of NP-completeness.
