modules

Algorithms are precisely defined procedures designed to solve computational tasks: they are the life-blood of computing. This module is designed to highlight the importance of algorithms in Computer Science, providing you with an understanding of what algorithms are, how they can be specified and evaluated, and what they can be used for. These general ideas will be illustrated throughout by means of an in-depth study of a range of example algorithms which have played an important part in the development of Computer Science and underpin current computing practice. The prerequisite knowledge may be obtained from two first-year computer science and mathematics modules.



PRE-REQUISITE MODULES: ECM1400 , ECM1414 , ECM1416
