Algorithms - 0368.2160
Procedural Matters:
Prerequisite Courses: Data Structures, Linear Algebra, Calculus,
Discrete Mathematics.
Exercises will be given in the recitations, and their solutions will
be graded. These will form about
10% of the final grade . The rest of the
final grade will be determined by the final exam.
Text books:
Introduction to Algorithms,
by T. Cormen, C. Leiserson and R. Rivest.
MIT Press, 1990.
Algorithm Design
by J. Kleinberg and E. Tardos.
Pearson/Addison Wesley, 2006.
Most of the course follows the above two books.
Graph Algorithms,
by S. Even.
Computer Science Press, 1979.
Data Structures and Network Algorithms,
by R. E. Tarjan.
SIAM, 1983.
Course syllabus:
Graph Algorithms: Breadth first search, Depth first search,
Topological sort, Strongly connected components, Biconnected
components, Minimum spanning trees (Kruskal, Prim),
Shortest paths (Dijkstra, Bellman-Ford),
All-pairs shortest paths (Floyd-Warshall, Johnson),
Dynamic Programming,
Flow algorithms (Ford-Fulkerson, Edmonds-Karp, Dinic).
