In this module the student will learn the very basics of algorithms through three examples ... The module starts with a broad introduction to data structures and talks about some simple data ...

We present integer linear programming formulation and a simple yet elegant dynamic programming algorithm. We will present a 3/2 factor approximation algorithm by Christofides and discuss some ...

Dr. James McCaffrey from Microsoft Research presents a complete end-to-end demonstration of computing a matrix inverse using ...

An algorithm is a list of rules to follow ... We use symbols and words that the computer understands to write our program. A symbol is a simple picture, like an arrow that shows us what to do.

Before BLAST, alignment programs used dynamic programming algorithms, such as the Needleman-Wunsch and Smith-Waterman algorithms, that required long processing times and the use of supercomputers ...
