Lectures and handout notes.
Class Project:
Students are required to submitted a project regarding any topic related to design and analysis of algorithms. Each group consists of up to 4 students.
All projects will be discussed and evaluated on the last week of this class.
Collaboration policy for written assignments:
You are allowed to discuss assignment solutions to problems in groups of three, documenting who you discussed with at the top of your homework. You are not allowed to write up the solutions together. You must do that by yourself either by hand or computerized. Any duplicate solutions will be discarded.
