Algorithmic Foundations of Computation (formerly CSC 233)

This course explores advanced data structures and the theoretical foundations of computation at various levels of abstraction. Specific topics include graph theory and related algorithms; analysis of algorithms; dynamic programming; functional programming with an emphasis on recursion and recurrences; and the description of languages using formalisms such as regular expressions, finite state machines, and context-free grammars. Prerequisite: CSC 235. Offered each semester. Not offered pass/fail.
