Catalog Description: Design and analysis of algorithms and data structures. Efficient algorithms for manipulating graphs and strings. Fast Fourier Transform. Models of computation, including Turing machines. Time and space complexity. NP-complete problems and undecidable problems.

Prerequisite: CSE 373

Credits: 3

Grading: Homework, Midterm, Final. Homework will be a mix of paper & pencil exercises and programing. Overall weights 55%, 15%, 30%, roughly.

Late Policy: Papers and/or electronic turnins are due at the start of class on the due date. 10% off for up to one day late; additional 15% per day thereafter. (Day = calendar day, i.e., Sunday is later than Saturday.)
