Course Objectives The objective of this course is to introduce algorithms by looking at the realworld problems motivating them. Students will be taught a range of design and analysis techniques for problems that arise in computing applications. Greedy algorithms, divideandconquer 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.
Learning Outcomes The students who succeeded in this course;
  • will be able to analyze the time and space complexity of algorithms,
  • will be able to efficiently solve suitable problems with greedy algorithms,
  • will be able to discuss if a problem could be solved with divide and conquer algorithm and solve suitable problems with divide and conquer algorithm,
  • will be able to discuss if a problem could be solved with a dynamic programming algorithm and solve suitable problems with dynamic programming algorithms,
  • will be able to compare the trade-off between the time complexity and the optimality of the solution to find the most optimal solution and discuss approximation algorithms when the optimal is not feasible.
Course Description Greedy algorithms, divideandconquer type of algorithms, dynamic programming and approximation algorithms.
