Class Notes: (感謝張耀文教授提供主要投影片內容)

 

This course provides a rigorous, undergraduate level introduction to the design and analysis of algorithms. Three things you will learn:

  • Design a good algorithm

  • Analyze (and verify) it

  • Lower bounds: know when to stop.

CHEATING:
With the exception of group assignments, the work (including homework assignments, projects  and tests) must be the result of your individual effort. This implies that one student should never have in his/her possession a copy of all or part of another student's homework. It is your responsibility to protect your work from unauthorized access. Academic dishonesty has no place in a university, in particular, in NTUEE. It wastes our time and yours, and it is unfair to the majority of students. Any form of cheating will automatically result in a failing grade in the course and will be reported to the university.
