This repository is for class materials for CSCI 432 in Spring 2026, taught by Prof. Fasy.
MSU Course Catalog Description:
A rigorous examination of advanced algorithms and data structures. Topics
include average case analysis, probabilistic algorithms, advanced graph problems
and theory, distributed and parallel programming.
From the Instructor:
This course is NOT a programming class, and is not structured like the 132 and
232 courses that precede it. In this course, we will do many proofs (especially
using induction), and will be writing pseudo-code, not code.
- CSCI 246 (Discrete) or M 242 (Methods of Proof)
- CSCI 232 (Data Structures and Algorithms)
In particular, a student enrolled in CSCI 432 should be familiar with:
- sorting and searching algorithms
- big-O notation,
- basic recurrence relations,
- heaps, queues, lists, and hash tables
- proof by induction and by contradiction
- discrete probability.
