-======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.
