TEQIP short term course on "Algorithms In Engineering (AIE)", the Department of Mathematics, IITG
Date : February 15-19, 2016
Background:
Algorithm is an important mathematical idea that all students need to understand and use. An algorithm is a finite sequence of rules for solving a particular problem. It has enormous application in modern human life such as mobile, sensor, aerospace, satellite to name a few. Algorithmic study involves applying, developing, analyzing, and understanding the nature of algorithms.
Engineering students often find difficulties to understand algorithm properly due to poor teaching. The primary objective of the workshop is to bring faculty members from different institutions to share knowledge, skills and techniques of teaching and learning approach.
More specifically, the aim of this workshop is to discuss
(i) importance of algorithm,
(ii) teaching technique to the students,
(iii) motivate to do research in algorithms,
(iv) some state-of-the-art algorithmic research area, etc.
Course Objectives:
To explore the connection of Algorithms in Engineering subjects.
To provide platform for the exchange of ideas, practices and pedagogy in the algorithm education in engineering and technical institutions.
Course Contents:
Basic Algorithm design and its extensive analysis, different algorithmic paradigm (Divide-and-Conquer, Dynamic Programming, Greedy Algorithms) in detail, Elementary Graph Algorithms, Geometric Algorithms, NP-Comp-leteness, Approximation Algorithms.
Resource Persons:
Faculty members of IIT Guwahati and guest faculty members from other premier institutions will deliver lectures.
