Computing and Software Systems 343, Spring 2003 Syllabus Course description This class is about algorithms, both design and analysis. We will study algorithms for many standard problems, such as sorting, searching, and graph algorithms. When studying algorithms, we will focus on how to design algorithms, and the basic design paradigms such as divide-and-conquer, greedy, and dynamic programming. We will also analyze algorithms, using mathematical tools to determine the run-time efficiency of various algorithms, and to prove that particular algorithms do in fact correctly solve the problem. We also introduce complexity classes as a way of classifying problems. Course Objectives After taking this class, students should be able to:
Topics Covered
Course Work and Evaulation We will be covering a good portion of the topics in the book more or less in order presented. There will be weekly assignments. Some will be programming projects, others will be mathematical problem solving homework. There will be two midterms and one final. No late assignments will be accepted. This means you should turn in however much you have done on the due date. Participation in class will be judged upon effort put into group activities and problem solving done in class, as well as on participation in discussion and on asking questions. GRADING
FINAL: Thursday June 12, 10:30 AM - 12:45 PM Code of Conduct All work turned in is expected to be your own. Unacknowledged copying is plagiarism and is not acceptable! Although students are encouraged to study together to understand the course content, each student is expected to produce his or her own solution to the homework problems, unless explicitly allowed otherwise. This means that mentors and fellow students may not write any part of any program or homework solution for you. If you are not clear on whether some form of cooperation is allowed by these rules, don't guess ask the instructor first. Violations of these rules will be referred to the appropriate University authorities for disciplinary action. Other Items If you would like to request academic accommodations due to a permanent or temporary physical, sensory, psychological/emotional or learning disability, please contact Lisa Tice, Coordinator for Disability Support Services (DSS). An appointment can be made through the front desk of Student Affairs (692-4400), by phoning Lisa directly at 692-4493 (voice), 692-4413 (TTY), or by e-mail (ltice@u.washington.edu). Appropriate |
