Design and Analysis of Algorithms

The study of algorithms is a significant part of the foundation for the discipline of computing. Over

the past several decades, research in algorithmic computer science has advanced at a rapid pace

its contributions have had a profound impact on almost every area of science and industry. In this

graduate-level course, we aim to provide a modern introduction to the study of algorithms that is

both broad and deep. The primary goals of the course are: (1) to become proficient in the application of fundamental algorithm design techniques, as well as the main tools used in the analysis of algorithms, (2) to study and analyze different algorithms for many of the most common types of “standard” algorithmic problems, and (3) to improve one’s ability to implement algorithmic ideas in code.
