CSCI 280 - Introduction to Algorithms


Semester Offered: First Semester, Second Semester
Full Course
Credits: 4 Credits
Attribute: 4NS, QFR

Students will be introduced to algorithm design and analysis, with an emphasis on applications to real-life problems arising in computing applications. Students will study the basic design techniques of the field from a theoretical perspective and learn how to apply these techniques to solve problems in simple, efficient ways. Computational complexity focusing on NP-completeness, and algorithmic techniques for intractable problems are also covered. Knowledge of discrete mathematics is necessary.
