Course objectives (competences)

Upon completion of this course, students will become familiar with major algorithms and data structures and he will be able to apply important algorithmic design paradigms and methods of analysis and synthesize efficient algorithms in common engineering design situations. He will also learn to analyze the asymptotic performance of algorithms, and check the correctness of algorithms.
