CS-E3190 - Principles of Algorithmic Techniques D, Lecture, 15.9.2021-17.12.2021

Inträde för gästanvändare
Please note! Course description is confirmed for two academic years, which means that in general, e.g. Learning outcomes, assessment methods and key content stays unchanged. However, via course syllabus, it is possible to specify or change the course execution in each realization of the course, such as how the contact sessions are organized, assessment methods weighted or materials used.

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.
