- | ======Algorithms, Spring 2009====== | ||
- | This course is an introduction to the design and analysis of computer algorithms. Its goal | ||
- | is to acquaint the students with basic computer algorithms and their design principles and to | ||
- | cultivate the students' ability in designing and analyzing algorithms independently. A particular | ||
- | emphasis will be given to principles of mathematical induction and their use in designing | ||
- | algorithms. | ||
