LEARNING OUTCOMES
In this course, we study the principles of efficient algorithm design and you will learn how to systematically approach new algorithmic problems. You will be able to formally argue why your algorithm works correctly and identify the challenges you need to overcome to solve a given problem. You will also learn to analyse the efficiency of algorithms and algorithmic approaches prior to their implementation.
