CSCI 280 - Algorithms

FC NSMA QFR

4 credits
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.

Prerequisites: CSCI 151 and MATH 220.
