Introduction to Algorithms, 3rd Edition
The 3rd edition just came out. I will try to give page numbers
for the 2nd as well as the 3rd edition for most of the readings
and assignements; some might be in the 3rd edition only, so if you have
the 2nd edition you will have to get them from classmates.
We will supplement the text with occasional handouts.
You should have had an undergraduate course in data structures such as ECS 60. I assume you know the material covered in that course, including stacks, heaps, some kind of balanced binary search trees, several sorting algorithms, and basic graph algorithms such as depth-first and breadth-first traversal, topological sort and minimum spanning tree.
There will be two in-class midterms, dates to be announced. The final will be held at the official time, March 20, 1:00-3:00 PM.
