EE 4700-1: Algorithm Design and Analysis
(Spring 2003)


Virtually every setting in which a computer is used today involves algorithm design. Examples of such settings range from software development and hardware design for a PC, to mobile systems, networking and manufacturing. This course will study algorithm design techniques and the mathematical tools needed to analyze their performance.
