COMP 415 - COMPLEXITY OF ALGORITHMS

Hours: 4
Lecture and Laboratory

Analysis of algorithm complexity; time and space analysis of algorithms, asymptotic (big-Oh) notation, and time-space tradeoffs in comparative analysis. Problem-solving strategies introduced by selected example, including greedy, divide-and-conquer, dynamic programming, and backtracking strategies. The concept of computational complexity is discussed by way of the theory of NP-completeness.
Prerequisites: COMP 205, MATH 165, and MATH 170.
