Day Date Contents Slides Assignments
 1  Aug 12 Time complexities with examples - Asymptotic notations - Theta for tight bound,
big-O for upper bound and big-Omega for lower bound. Analogous to =, <= and >=. 
o- strictly higher upper bound and small-omega- strictly lower lower bound analogous to > and < respectively.
Definitions to be learned from Cormen. 
   
 2  Aug 13 Masters theorem with examples - finding epsilon > 0 for case 1 and case 3, c < 1 for case 3, 
Going to substitution for exact solution, brute force method as a backup.
Sorting algorithms and time complexities in best, worst and average cases- Insertion sort-inversion,
Selection sort - swapping, Bubble sort, Merge sort - external sorting, Heap sort - build heap in O(n) - proof in Cormen,
Quick sort - worst case of O(n^2)
