CSCI 280 - Introduction to Algorithms


Semester Offered: Second Semester
Credits (Range): 3 hours
Attribute: 3NS, QP-F
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.
Enrollment Limit: 48
Instructor: T. Wexler
Prerequisites & Notes
Prerequisite: CSCI 151 and Math 220.
