Student Outcomes
Students will be able to describe and apply a wide range of classic algorithms Students will be able to use knowledge of algorithmic eciency to choose among multiple solutions to a problem Students will be able to categorize algorithm types, such as divide-and-conquer, dynamic programming, and heuristic search, and use these categories in solving new problems Students will be able to research and present in-depth topics in algorithm design
