Algorithm Analysis and Data Structures

COURSE DESCRIPTION
Metrics for performance evaluation of algorithms. Formal treatment of basic data structures such as arrays, stacks, queues, lists, trees. Various sorting and searching techniques. Fundamental graph algorithms.
COURSE LEARNING OBJECTIVES

This course is intended to provide an understanding of the design and analysis of software algorithms, with a corresponding formal treatment of the related fundamental algorithm techniques and advanced data structures.

  • Understand and use asymptotic notations, perform simple algorithm analysis
  • Know basic proof techniques, solve recurrences
  • Understand and use data structures for link lists, stacks and queues
  • Understand basic tree concepts, representations, traversal, binary search
  • Ability to design tree based algorithms for solving problems
  • Understanding and use of hashing
  • Understand and use of heaps
  • Know basic sorting algorithms, selection, insertion, shell, heapsort, mergesort, quicksort, indirect sorting
  • Know and apply basic graph algorithms, topological sort, Dijkstra, Prim, Kruskal algorithms, depth and breadth first search graph traversals
MAJOR TOPICS

This course covers lot of emphasis on information security in some form or other from the textbooks, web sites, or lectures.

Topics will include fundamental concepts of organizations for large volumes of data and estimating the running time of software algorithms.   Introductory study of search trees, B-trees, lists, selections, sorting, sets, vectors, graphs, weighted graphs, network flows, number theory, cryptography, computational geometry, and NP-Completeness.
