This course provides an overview of various topics in algorithms based on a selection of materials on exact, geometric, randomized, and approximation algorithms, as well as advanced data structures. As such, this course serves as a foundation for the associated master's level courses. The course covers improvements to classical algorithms as well as approaches to tackle NP-hard problems. These approaches range from understanding "good" algorithms that solve such problems exactly, to efficient algorithms that approximate such problems, to randomized approaches that work well in expected value. Along the way, we will learn about some interesting data structures that can be exploited for this purpose.
At the end of this course, students should have a rough overview of advanced topics in algorithms and data structures. They should be able to analyze and design algorithms of any type and understand the appropriate use of data structures.

Every week we will upload a new exercise sheet at the time of the lecture. Deadline for submission is the following lecture session. Achieving at least 50% of the points grants a bonus of one grade level when passing the oral exam.
Exercise sheets may be completed in pairs of two and shall be submitted electronically. We recommend the use of LaTeX and the provided template. You may submit in English (preferred) or German language.
