Course Description

This course covers the basics of Algorithms: how to design algorithms, how to analyze and improve their efficiency, and how to know when no further improvements are likely.

After a brief review of aymptotic notation and basic analysis of algorithms, the course covers some fundamental algorithmic paradigms: greedy algorithms, divide-and-conquer, and dynamic programming. We then discuss exploration of graphs, and finally turn to lower bounds, NP-completeness, and approximation algorithms.
