Enrolled students are as well, but probably should change their default subscription options. Messages are automatically archived. Discussion Board: Also feel free to use Catalyst GoPost to discuss homework, etc. Catalog Description: Techniques for design of efficient algorithms. 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. Late Policy: Unless otherwise announced, weekly homeworks will be due by 4:00PM on Thursdays; 20% off per calendar day thereafter. (You may turn in work electronically, including scanned versions of handwritten papers, via the Catalyst drop box link at left.) 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.
