Course Texts

Introduction to Algorithms by Cormen, Leiserson, Rivest, and Stein, Third Edition, 2009 – Required textbook for this course.

Additional Resources

CIS 1210 Lecture Notes – For review on concepts covered in CIS 1210, like asymptotic notation, recurrence relations, sorting algorithms, graph algorithms, data structures, etc.

Algorithm Visualizer – Visualizations of known recursive, divide and conquer, dynamic programming, greedy, and more algorithms on default examples, side by side with code.

Ford-Fulkerson Algorithm Visualizer – A visualization of how Ford-Fulkerson works. You can use the default graphs or upload your own. There’s a bug with outputting the max flow value, but the visualization makes it easy to figure it out.

CIS 2620 Lecture Slides – For review on concepts covered in CIS 2620, like P and NP, NP-completeness, reductions, etc. (Not public; however, if you took CIS 2620, the course should still be accessible to you.)

Introduction to the Theory of Computation by Sipser, Third Edition, 2012 – Required textbook for CIS 2620.

Introduction to Automata Theory, Languages and Computation by Hopcroft, Motwani, and Ullman, Third Edition, 2006 – Additional reference textbook for CIS 2620.
