This week the lectures have been on Greedy Algorithms. The topics match these book sections:
- Intro, coin changing: Section 7.1
- Continuous knapsack: Section 7.6
- Prim’s MST algorithm: Section 7.3
- Dijkstra’s Shortest Path algorithm: Section 7.4
- Prim’s MST algorithm: Section 7.2 (we’ll talk about this on 4/6). Also, look over Section 3.6, page 150-161.
- Nothing on Section 7.5 (Huffman Encoding -- you did this in CS2150!)
- No book sections cover activity selection
