✅ Time-Saving – Ideal for last-minute revision and structured study
The notes are divided into four comprehensive units, aligning with standard university syllabi for ADA.
This foundational unit introduces students to:
Definition and characteristics of algorithms
Fundamental approaches to algorithmic problem-solving
Types of computational problems
Theoretical framework for algorithm analysis
Asymptotic notations: Big-O, Theta, Omega
Efficiency classes and complexity comparisons
Mathematical analysis of non-recursive and recursive algorithms
Recurrence relations and their solution using the substitution method
A vital unit focusing on fundamental sorting and searching methods:
Brute Force technique and Divide-and-Conquer strategy
Selection Sort, Bubble Sort, and Merge Sort
Quick Sort with in-depth analysis
Linear Search and Binary Search
Brute-force string matching
Advanced topic: Strassen’s Matrix Multiplication
This section introduces advanced problem-solving techniques:
Greedy method with Fractional Knapsack, Minimum Spanning Trees using Prim’s and Kruskal’s algorithms
