Contents
Competencies / intended learning achievements
The students know basic algorithms and data structures (search methods, sorting methods, balanced search trees, hashing) and are able to,
- describe algorithms using basic data structures and algorithmic approaches,
- use standard methods for determining and describing the runtime of algorithms,
- apply common techniques for the design of algorithms to new problems,
- prove for simple problems that no efficient algorithm can exist,
- classify and compare problems according to their runtime complexity and structure.
In the exercises they have worked out a safe, precise and independent handling of the terms, statements and methods from the lecture.
