Computer Science 365b, Design and Analysis of Algorithms
Spring 2009
[Home]
[Schedule]
Course Information
Prerequisites
The prerequisites for this course are CS 202 and CS 223.
However, I am willing to take students who have a sufficient background
in discrete mathematics and computer science. If you are not sure
if you are ready to take the course, please discuss it with me.
Course Requirements
There will be 9 problem sets, a midterm and a final.
The grading breakdown will be:
- Problem sets: 45%
- Midterm: 20%
- Final: 35%
The problem sets will be difficult.
Accordingly, the threshold for an A grade will be set to around 80%.
I will also drop your lowest homework grade, and replace it by your average
(suitably normalized).
Sign Up
Please sign up for the course on the
Classes*v2 server.
I will use the Classes*v2 server to send out announcements.
Please also send me an email message (lastname at cs dot yale dot edu) with the following information
- Your name according to the registrar.
- The name you prefer to be called, with advice on pronunciation if possibly necessary.
- Did you take the prereqs?
If not, did you take something equivalent?
- The probability you will actually take the class.
- And, if you'd like to help me learn your name, a recent picture (because
most of you no longer the resemble the baby pictures the registrar sends to me).
