CSC 344
Algorithms and Complexity

Dr. Stephen Bloch

Spring, 2007

This course meets on Mondays, Wednesdays, and Fridays from 11:00-11:50 PM in Hagedorn 106. The last time I taught this course was Spring 2006.

See the syllabus for more details.

The textbook Algorithm Design, by Kleinberg & Tardos, is required. It's been ordered by the Adelphi bookstore; it's probably also available for slightly less money from amazon.com, Barnes & Noble, and fatbrain.com.

An updated schedule contains the latest updates to homework due dates, lecture topics, etc. Please check the schedule regularly and keep up on the assigned reading!

Reading and Support

• In conjunction with our discussion of asymptotic growth rates, see my Web page on growth rates.
• Different people learn (and teach) in different ways. Try taking a Learning Styles Questionnaire to discover your own style and get some tips on how to handle classes taught in a different style. If you're having trouble with the way I explain things, it could just be that I'm strongly intuitive and you're strongly sensitive (or something like that); point it out to me, and I'll try to find another way to explain.

Getting Help
