COSC 49.14 Algorithmic Foundations Seminar

A seminar course in which students—under faculty direction—discuss, present, and critique current or recent research in algorithmic foundations (also called “theoretical computer science”) as represented by top international conferences and leading journals in the area. Topics and structure will vary from term to term, but coursework will typically involve some combination of in-depth critical reading, written summarization, and oral presentations of research papers; formulation of new research directions suggested by papers studied; and instruction in all of these essential research skills.

Prerequisite

One course among COSC 32-48, current or recent relevant enrollment in COSC 94 or 99, and instructor permission.

The Courses@Dartmouth contains the most up-to-date information about a course. It includes not only the meeting time and instructor, but also its official distributive and/or world culture designation. This information supersedes any information you may see elsewhere, to include what may appear in this ORC/Catalog or on a department/program website. Note that course attributes may change term to term therefore those in effect are those (only) during the term in which you enroll in the course.
