  1. MCA 301: Design and Analysis of Algorithms Instructor Neelima Gupta ngupta@cs.du.ac.in

  2. Table of Contents • About the course • Mathematical Induction • Asymptotic Notation

  3. Assumption/ Pre-requisite • Some exposure to • Algorithm development - at least sorting and searching • Growth Functions: The Big O, Omega and Theta Notations • Mathematical Induction • Solving recurrence relations We will review these topics but will go a little fast … Those who do not have this background are requested to work harder in the initial weeks and come at par with the rest

  4. The Course • Purpose: a rigorous introduction to the design and analysis of algorithms • Not a lab or programming course • Not a math course, either • Textbook: • Introduction to Algorithms, Cormen, Leiserson, Rivest, Stein, second edition, a good book you must have in your library • Introduction to Algorithms : Saara Base • The course involves a lot of self-study. Off n On topics will be given for self-study which will be part of syllabus for exams.

  5. The Course • Format • Three lectures/week • Two groups of Tutorials (details will follow) • Homework most weeks • Problem sets • Maybe occasional programming assignments • Two Minors + one final exam(Major)

  6. Grading policy • Homework Assignment : 15% • Minor 1: 15% • Minor 2: 15% • Major : 50% • Attendance : 5%

  7. Tutorial • Group 1 : Roll No 1-15, Group leader – Roll No 1 • Group 2 : Roll No 16-30, Group leader – Roll No 16 • Group Leaders can be changed/rotated, if the need be • Tute 1– students doubts will be taken • Tute 2– a problem will be given to be solved. This will be graded, to be counted under homework assignment. • Sometimes the problem/s may be given for home, but that’s only my decision .. No request will be granted in this regard. • To be able to stick to timings .. I would request you to collect your doubts and mail to your group leader who will collect similar problems into one and mail the final list to me a day before at ngupta@cs.du.ac.in, FAILING which your doubts will not be taken up in the tutorial class.

  8. ALL THE BEST
