423 vs. 823 Students enrolled for 823 will do more problems than those enrolled for 423. Also, the grading scales (the curve) may be different.

Coverage Tentatively, we will cover parts or all of the following chapters from the textbook: 7.4, 9, 15, 16, 17, 24, 25, 26, 34, 35. This list is subject to change. Consult the schedule on a regular basis for actual topic coverage.

Prerequisites If you did not take and receive at least a C in CS310, you should drop this course. In particular, I assume you have an understanding of and ability to program
  • Basic data structures, including stacks, queues, linked-lists, hash tables, binary search trees, trees and graphs.
  • Sorting algorithms, including selection, insertion, quick, merge, and radix.
  • Basic graph algorihtms including BFS, DFS, and MST.
  • Basic greedy and dynamic programming algorithms.
In addition, I assume you have some familiarity with theoretic and empirical complexity analysis, including asympotic notation and solving summations and recurrences.
