An algorithm is like a recipe, with a discrete beginning and end and a prescribed sequence of steps leading unambiguously to some desired result. But coming up with the right answer at the end of ...

Basic Concepts in Algorithms focuses on paradigms and methods combining basic programming constructs as building blocks and shows their usefulness in the derivation of algorithms. The coverage of ...

Combined with algorithms that can handle such graphs it’s a great way to not only make the basic structure of a network clear, but also to model structures and systems.

Prior knowledge needed: We highly recommended successfully completing Algorithms for Searching, Sorting, and Indexing (the first course in this specialization) before attempting this course.

Quantum Algorithms Prerequisites Undergraduate algorithms (CSCI 3104), data structures (CSCI 2270), discrete mathematics (CSCI 2824) and two semesters of calculus, or equivalents. We will assume that ...
