Prerequisites. Elementary algorithms and data structures
Teaching Methods. Frontal lessons and seminars
Verification of Learning. Oral examination and in-depth study of a specific topic chosen by the student.
Objectives
After passing the exam, it is considered that the student is able to read and implement advanced algorithms for searching and compressing texts, even large ones. Be able to interpret and adapt to specific case studies of advanced data structures design. Be able to use the “randomness” and the ability to deploy computing on multiple-node architectures. It is able to set sufficiently precise and independent architectural limits to the computational complexity of programs studied.
