Course Objective and Content

Course Objectives: This course teaches students how to evaluate the efficiency and performance of algorithms. Students learn various techniques for analyzing algorithms, such as time complexity, space complexity, and asymptotic analysis. By studying these strategies and techniques, students learn how to choose the most appropriate approach for solving a given problem and how to analyze the performance of their solutions.
Course Content: The course covers different types of algorithms such as sorting, searching and graph algorithms, as well as common data structures used in algorithm design. Students also learn about algorithmic strategies and techniques such as divide and conquer, reduce and conquer, transform and conquer, dynamic programming, greedy algorithms, and backtracking algorithms.

Learning Outcomes

The students who have succeeded in this course;
1) Evaluate the efficiency and performance of different algorithms using techniques such as time complexity, space complexity, and asymptotic analysis.
2) Apply various algorithmic strategies and techniques, such as divide and conquer, decrease and conquer, transform and conquer, dynamic programming, greedy algorithms, and backtracking algorithms, to solve different types of problems.
3) Use common data structures, such as arrays, linked lists, trees, and hash tables, to implement algorithms.
4) Analyze the performance of algorithmic solutions using empirical methods and theoretical analysis.
