Prerequisite

Recommendations MAT 144 and one of CSC 240 or CSC 241

Course Description

Course continues CSC 240 or CSC 241. Contents include survey of introductory algorithms in programming language. Object-oriented methodologies are used to implement algorithms that exhibit backtracking, divide and conquer, the greedy method and branch and bound techniques; analysis of time and memory complexity using discrete metrics.

Course Objectives

A. Continue the development of object-oriented programming methodologies.
B. Analyze algorithmic complexity using discrete mathematical metrics.
C. Implement algorithms using a variety of abstract data types.
D. Study and implement sorting and searching algorithms.
E. Study and implement elementary semi-numerical algorithms.
F. Survey introductory distributed algorithms.
