This is the graduate algorithms course aimed at CS PhD students. It will be assumed that a typical student in the course has a solid background in undergraduate-level algorithms material. Please refer to the syllabus of a recent offering of CS:3330 (e.g., https://homepage.divms.uiowa.edu/~sriram/3330/spring18/syllabus.html) to better understand this expectation. Facility in discrete math, especially discrete probability, will be a definite benefit for students in this course. The course material is organized into 4 parts: (i) combinatorial optimization, (ii) randomized algorithms, (iii) approximation algorithms, and (iv) streaming and parallel algorithms. The material on streaming and parallel algorithms can be viewed as a modern application of the material in Parts (I)-(III).
