COURSE DESCRIPTION

This is a mid-level course in algorithms for under-graduate students only. We will study basic paradigms prevalent in algorithm design. Namely-- recursion, greedy, dynamic programming, amortization and reduction. These will be defined and exemplified by a great number of natural examples. The course focus will be on creative theoretical concepts and proofs. However, these methods are cornerstones of the practice of computer science & engineering as well.

Prerequisites: Basics of computation models, basic math.

Text Book: Dasgupta & Papadimitriou & Vazirani, Algorithms (McGraw-Hill)
