Information

Ziele, Inhalte und Methode der Lehrveranstaltung

*Please do not send us any inquiries about late admittance to the course. Unfortunately, it is already overbooked, and we cannot accept any more participants.*

The main objective of this course is to learn some of the key techniques for designing and analyzing algorithms. We will study algorithmic paradigms and show concrete examples on how to use these paradigms to solve different optimization problems. This is a theoretical course, and we’ll largely be focusing on using mathematical tools to prove the correctness and the running time complexity of the algorithms.

At the end of the course, you should be able to recognize which paradigm you would need to use for solving new problems, as well as study the correctness and the time complexity of your suggested solutions.

Prerequisites:
- Discrete Mathematics – equivalent to 051110 VO Mathematical Foundations of Computer Science 1
- Introduction to Algorithms and Data Structures – equivalent to 051024 VU Algorithms and Data Structures 1

Topics:

* Proof Techniques

* Algorithmic Strategies:
- Dynamic Programming
- Greedy Algorithms

* Data Structures and Algorithms
- Maximum Flow
- Shortest Paths
- Hashing

Art der Leistungskontrolle und erlaubte Hilfsmittel

Students can collect up to 100 regular points as follows:
- 2 online multiple choice quizzes (up to 10 points each)
- 2 homework sheets (up to 15 points each)
- 10 questions of the day (up to 10 points)
- written exam (up to 40 points)

In addition, up to 20 bonus points can be collected as follows:
- attending >= 11 classes (up to 5 points)
- prerequisites quiz (up to 5 points)
- solving bonus problems on homework sheets (up to 10 points)

Exams/quizzes are closed-book, no resources/help from the Internet are allowed.

Mindestanforderungen und Beurteilungsmaßstab

If P is the sum of regular and bonus points received, your grade will be:

1, if P >= 89,
2, if P >= 76,
3, if P >= 63,
4, if P >= 50,
5, otherwise.

Presence is mandatory for the first lecture. Otherwise, it is not a requirement, but strongly recommended.
There is no minimum required number of points per exam/homework sheet/quiz.

Prüfungsstoff

Everything covered in the lecture, the reading material, the homework problems, and the quizzes.
