The CSCI 4230 Algorithm Design and Analysis course teaches students the principles andtechniques for designing analyzing and implementing efficient algorithms. It covers topics such as algorithms foradvanced data structures search algorithms graph algorithms NP-completeness and approximation algorithms.Students learn to think algorithmically develop problem-solving skills and study algorithm design and analysistechniques such as divide and conquer dynamic programming greedy algorithms backtracking heuristic approachamortized analysis and randomized algorithms. The course may also cover additional practical issues related toalgorithm implementation and optimization including caching memoization and parallelization. Prerequisites CSCI3210 or ENGR3440
