Course Overview:
The goal of this class is to present fundamental problem-solving techniques,
for designing efficient computer algorithms, proving their correctness,
and analyzing their performance (e.g. running time, storage requirement, etc.).
We will study asymptotic complexity and mathematical analysis of algorithms,
design techniques, data structures, and possible applications.
The list of topics includes:
Each topic will be motivated by an interesting example, then studied
about its basic concepts and accompanied by analysis.
Lectures and Approximate Schedule
Here is a list of lecture topics (subject to
changes). Schedule and information on each topic (e.g. readings, web
pointers) will be added during the semester before each class.
Grading
The class grade of each student is determined by
