This course studies the design and analysis of efficient algorithms, including techniques and their applications to different domains. Topics covered in this course include advanced data structures, computational geometry, cryptography, dynamic programming, greedy algorithms, divide-and-conquer, graph algorithms (e.g., depth-first search), network algorithms (e.g., shortest paths), approximation algorithms, etc.
Data structures, discrete math, two semesters of calculus. You are also expected to have facility with a programming language such as C, C++, Java, or Python.
Required: Algorithms by S. Dasgupta, C. Papadimitriou, U. Vazirani. First Edition, McGraw-Hill, 2008. You can also download the PDF of the pre-print version, but note that it does not match the printed version.
Optional: Introduction to Algorithms by T. Cormen, C. Leiserson, R. Rivest, C. Stein. Third Edition, The MIT Press, 2009.
