Lecture Notes and Further Reading
The notes posted here are somehow sparse. They are (hopefully) a good summary for later reference but are by no
means a substitute for the actual lectures and/or the textbook.
- Introduction to the design and analysis of algorithms ( handout and overhead presentation). These
notes offer an overview of the basics of algorithm design and analysis; most of this material will be
reconsidered in more details as we move through the course.
The notes roughly correspond to Chapter 0 of the textbook. This chapter is definitely worth reading
as it discusses a few things not covered here (such as what is not an algorithm).
