This course will involve reading assignments and homework exercises
from the textbook
Fundamentals of Sequential and Parallel Algorithms by Kenneth
Berman and Jerome Paul.
This book is required, and it's the sort of book you'll probably want to
keep to refer to in subsequent courses and software projects.
For any of you who are especially interested in this subject, I recommend
a more advanced book,
Introduction to Algorithms by Thomas H. Cormen, Charles E.
Leiserson, and Ronald L. Rivest.
I may also give out
other reading assignments by email or in journals.
I hope to cover about three quarters of the Berman-Paul book: about 600 pages,
so you need to read 10-15 pages per lecture, on average. Make
time in your weekly schedule for this!
