• Perform basic analysis of algorithm correctness and complexity, using invariants and big-O notation.
• Use basic algorithms and data structures when programming (e.g., lists, queues, stacks, search trees, hashing, sorting algorithms, and basic graph algorithms).
• Use basic algorithmic techniques to design algorithms for a given problem (e.g. greedy, divide and conquer, dynamic programming)

• Identify and formulate precisely (if possible) the algorithmic problem hidden in a given programming task.
• Theoretically analyze the performance of a given algorithmic solution, including the analysis of basic approximation algorithms and basic randomized algorithms.
• At a basic level, evaluate theoretically the performance of an algorithm in a parallel or distributed setting, and in situations where there is a massive amount of data.
• Find results in the algorithms research literature relevant to a given problem.

Teaching consists of a mix of lectures and project work. In the project, each student will consider 2-3 algorithmic problems (typically ones that can be seen as a variant or extension of a known algorithmic problem) and document their work on those problems in a project report.

Condensed course: The course will run strictly after Algorithm Design 1, in the second half of the semester week 43-50, at double pace.

NB!! Course restriction!!

Please note that there is a course restriction between this course and the course Algorithm Design 15 ECTS and Advanced Algorithms.
That means that you cannot take this course, if you have already taken Algorithm Design 15 ECTS or Advanced Algorithms and that you cannot take Algorithm Design 15 ECTS or Advanced Algorithms if you take this course.
