Unit 4: Principles of algorithm design
In Area of Study 2 students encounter a variety of more sophisticated algorithm design patterns, and apply their knowledge of these to construct an improved solution for the problem posed in Area of Study 1. In Area of Study 3 students
learn about the hard limits to computability, and that there are computational problems which cannot be solved using any kind of computational machinery.
Area of Study 1: Formal algorithm analysis
Area of Study 2: Advanced algorithm design
Area of Study 3: Universality of computation and algorithms
Area of Study 1: Formal algorithm analysis
In this area of study, students investigate the correctness and efficiency of algorithms using mathematical techniques.
Area of Study 2: Advanced algorithm design
In this area of study, students examine more advanced algorithm design patterns.
Area of Study 3:Universality of computation and algorithms
In this area of study, students examine computation as a universal concept that is independent of programming languages and computer hardware.
