Course Objectives The objective of this course is to introduce algorithms by looking at the real-world problems motivating them. Students will be taught a range of design and analysis techniques for problems that arise in computing applications. Greedy algorithms, divide and conquer type of algorithms and dynamic programming will be discussed within the context of different example applications.
Learning Outcomes The students who succeeded in this course;
  • will be able to classify the different types of algorithms together with their purpose of use.
  • will be able to explain time and space complexity of different type of algorithms,
  • will be able to devise efficient greedy algorithms suitable to solve a particular computational problem,
  • will be able to implement efficient divide and conquer algorithms suitable to solve a particular computational problem,
  • will be able to formulate efficient dynamic programs suitable to solve a particular optimization problem.
Course Description The course covers basics of Algorithms Analysis, graph theoretic concepts, greedy algorithms, divide and conquer algorithms and dynamic programming algorithms.
