EECS 279: Approximation Algorithms


[4.0 units]

Optimization problems are prevalent in many disciplines, and computer science is no exception. Unfortunately, numerous optimization problems are computationally hard (eg. NP-hard), hence resist efficient algorithms. This course covers various approximation algorithms which are polynomial time heuristics that aim to give a solution close to the optimum for all inputs. Knowledge of Algorithm Design and Analysis, or an equivalent course, is strongly suggested.

Normal Letter Grade only.
