| Course Description | This course provides a comprehensive introduction to some fundamental aspects of Analysis of Algorithms. The following topics are covered: Introduction, mathematical foundations; asymptotic analysis; recurrences; sorting algorithms, merge sort, heap sort; randomized algorithms, Hashing, searching, Binary search Trees, 2-3 Tress, Red and Black trees , Binomial Heaps; Fibonacci Heaps Given a computational problem, we want to (a) find an algorithm to solve the problem, (b) prove that the algorithm solves the problem correctly, (c) prove that we cannot solve the problem any faster, and (d) implement the algorithm. The course focuses on these topics by studying useful algorithmic design techniques and methods for analyzing algorithms. |
Course Learning Outcomes and CompetencesUpon successful completion of the course, the learner is expected to be able to:1) Analyze the performance of algorithms by using asymptotic notation; 2) Solve recurrences; 3) Describe and compare sorting algorithms; 4) Identify complicated data structures such as Hashing, B-trees, Red-Black trees, heap structures; 5) Analyze graphs ; 6) Design and implement efficient algorithms to solve a computational problem; 7) Analyze and interpret algorithms to solve a computational problem; |
