  1. Welcome Welcome to the most Amazing course there is 

  2. Algorithms • Algorithm. • [webster.com] A procedure for solving a mathematical problem (as of finding the greatest common divisor, or finding max/min ) in a finite number of steps that frequently involves repetition of an operation. • [Knuth, TAOCP] An algorithm is a finite, definite, effective procedure, with some input and some output * • An algorithm is a sequence of unambiguous instructions for solving a problem, i.e., for obtaining a required output for any legitimate input in a finite amount of time. 👍

  4. Etymology • Algorism = process of doing arithmetic using Arabic numerals. • True origin: Abu 'Abd Allah Muhammad ibn Musa al-Khwarizm was a famous 9th century Persian textbook author who wrote Kitab al-jabrwa'l-muqabala“كتاب الجبر والمواريث”* which evolved into today's high school algebra and Algorithms.

  5. What is this course about? • We will study moderately complex data structures and algorithms that are essential in core areas of computer science • Operating Systems • Database Systems • Search Engines • Compilers • etc. • This is one of the most important (and fun) courses you will take

  6. Why study algorithms? • Theoretical importance • the core of computer science • Practical importance • A practitioner’s toolkit of known algorithms • Framework for designing and analyzing algorithms for new problems 6

  7. The two main issues related to algorithms • How to design algorithms • Correctness • How to analyze algorithm efficiency • Resource usage 7

  8. Board Example • The PlayStation Example • Algorithm Design • Additional Reading : • Read section 4.1 from book [K] • Pages 116 - 121

  9. Reading • [L] Section 1.1 • Pages 1 – 7 • You will study the Euclid’s algorithm in Discrete Mathematics too • [C] Chapter 1 • Pages 5 – 9 • Exclude topic: “Hard problems”
