Methods for showing lower bounds on computational complexity. Particular algorithms for sorting, searching, set manipulation, arithmetic, graph problems, pattern matching. Prerequisites: either CSE 312 or CSE 322; either CSE 326 or CSE 332. Credits: 3 Grading: Homework, Final. Homework will be a mix of paper & pencil exercises and programing. Overall weights 60%, 40%, roughly. Extra Credit: Assignments may include "extra credit" sections. These will enrich your understanding of the material, but at a low points per hour ratio. Do them for the glory, not the points, and don't start extra credit until the basics are complete. Textbook: Algorithm Design by Jon Kleinberg and Eva Tardos. Addison Wesley, 2006.
