This class was pure paper and pencil. Jim required us to be very clear and complete in our proofs. We covered the following chapters in depth: 7 Quicksort, 18 B-Trees, 19 Binomial Heaps, 21 Data Structures for Disjoint Sets, 24 (Review) Dijkstra’s and Bellman-Ford Algorithms, 25 All-Pairs Shortest Paths, 26 Maximum Flow, 34 NP-Complete and Related Problem Classes, 35 Approximation Algorithms; and the following in less depth: 29 Linear Programming, 30 Polynomials and the FFT, 32 String Matching. Busy class. Not much of a webpage….
