  4. Prerequisites EE 110 (Knowledge of C) CSE 260

  5. Grading • Homeworks once in two weeks (15% of grade) • Posted every alternate Thursday • Due 14 days after posting (solution posted after class) • Exceptions will be notified First Homework posted today, 8th Jan, Due 15th Jan before 9 AM Consultation allowed but no copying Late submission not accepted

  6. Programming Every homework will have one program Program can be done in C or Java C programs will be tested in eniac machine Programs can be done in groups of two students Contact P.A. for any assistance in programming Submit all homework programs to P.A.

  7. 2 Midterms: 25% each Dates? Comprehensive Final: 35% 3 Review Lectures: Lecture 1? Lecture 2? Lecture 3 (April 18)

  8. Instructors Travel Schedule No class, no office hours on Januray 29, February 26, 28

  9. Course Content Course Motivation Mathematical Foundation: Complexity Analysis: Data Structures: List, Stacks, Queues Algorithm: Searching and Trees Sorting and Heaps Graph Algorithms (Depth first Search, Breadth First Search, Topological sort, Shortest path algorithm, Spanning Tree Algorithm) Computability and Complexity

  10. Course Motivation Need to run computer programs efficiently! • Computer program: • Accepts Input (Data) • Performs a Sequence of action with the input • Generates Output (Data) Efficient Management of Data (Data Structures) • Efficient Sequence of Actions • Algorithms

  11. Algorithms Sequence of actions a ``dumb’’ machine can follow For j=1 to N print j Efficient versus Inefficient algorithm

  12. Design of Algorithms You have a problem to solve • Design an efficient algorithm • Use good data structures • Show that your algorithm works! • Prove its correctness Study the efficiency of your algorithm

  13. Formal Study of Algorithms Design of Algorithms Proving Correctness of Algorithms • Formal study of efficiency of algorithms • Run time • Storage required
