Text:

Required -  Introduction to Algorithms (Second Edition) by Thomas H. Cormen, Charles E. Leiserson, and Ronald L. Rivest,  published by MIT Press and McGraw-Hill.

Recommended -  Computer Algorithms by E. Horowitz, S. Sahni, and S. Rajasekaran, Computer Science Press, 1998

Network Flows: Theory, Algorithms, and Applications, by Ravindra K. Ahuja, Thomas L. Magnanti, and James B. Orlin, Prentice Hall, 1993

Course Work:

Course work will consist of homework assignments, and 2 exams (a midterm and a comprehensive final). Homeworks are to be turned in at the start of class on the due date. No late homeworks will be accepted. Assignments are to be written up neatly. Badly written assignments will not be graded. Please staple your homework.

All homeworks are expected to be done independently. You may discuss general solution strategies with classmates, but you must write up the solutions in your own words.

It is your responsibility to make sure that you pick up all homeworks and handouts. All course information and homeworks will be available on the web page. Solutions to homeworks will be given out in class.

Grading:

Final grades will be based on homework assignments, a midterm exam, and a comprehensive final exam. The relative weights of these will be roughly 10% for the homework total, 40% for the midterm, and 50% for the final exam.
