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. Approximation algorithms with an emphasis on load balancing and set cover problems will also be covered. |
