General description:   The course will discuss several methods for analyzing time and space complexity of algorithms, algorithm design techniques, including divide and conquer, greedy, dynamic programming, and efficient algorithms for several common computer science problems. Other topics include graph algorithms, searching and sorting algorithms merging and hashing algorithms; and NP-completeness.
     
PREREQUISITE:   CS 261 and Math 2420
     
Essential to review:   elementary symbolic computation(logarithms, trigonomery, polynomials, matrices, exponentials), induction, derivatives, order relations, comparing real valued functions, graph theory.
