CISC 233 - Essential Algorithms

(3 semester hours)
Prerequisites: MATH 210 and one of the following, CISC 140 or CISC 160
Description: This course covers the basic techniques used to analyze problems and algorithms, including asymptotic, upper/lower bounds, and best/average/worst case analysis. Amortized analysis, complexity, and basic techniques are used to design algorithms (important classical algorithms including sorting, string, matrix, and graph algorithms). The goal for the student is to be able to apply all the above to design solutions for real-world problems. Offered Fall and Spring Semester, annually.
