Course Objectives:
The main objectives of the course are
To highlight the significance of performance of an algorithm and thus its complexity
To understand the importance of the choice of an appropriate data structure for an optimized
overall performance
To learn various algorithm design techniques and their applications on different problems in
various domains
To learn to solve new problems using the design and analysis procedures
Description of Course:
The Analysis of Algorithms is one of the most important courses in Computer Science, targeted
towards teaching efficient problem solving, to the students. It majorly focuses on two vital activities
in computing i.e. the design and then analysis of algorithms with the intent of producing the most
optimized solutions for problems. It mainly includes discussion of various solutions to the basic
computing problems such as sorting, searching, and selection. Students explore algorithm analysis worst and average case analysis - recurrences and asymptotic on different data structures such as
basic linear structures, balanced trees, heaps, and hash tables. They learn algorithm design techniques
- divide-and-conquer, dynamic programming, greedy algorithms, and amortized analysis. Discuss of
algorithms for fundamental graph problems such as depth-first search, connected components,
topological sort, shortest paths is also included in the course. Moreover students are also introduced
to the string match NP-Completeness and Approximation Algorithms
