Course Objectives This course provides an understanding of the application of software technologies that enables users to make better and faster decisions based on big data features. Students will learn the principles and best practices for how to use big data in order to support fact-based decision-making. Emphasis will be given to applications in various data which has big data facilities. Therefore, in this course, the algorithms which are given in the class targeted the big data facilities in order to teach student this structure.
Course Learning Outcomes The students who succeeded in this course;
  • Upon the completion of this course, the student will be able to: Define and model the data structure with algorithms;
  • Use mathematical models and make the algorithms solve for equilibrium;
  • Analyze and critically evaluate from data driven materials;
  • Have the ability to predict the effects of changes in any kind of policy related to investigated field.
Course Content Review of algorithm analysis; divide and conquer algorithms; graphs; dynamic programming; greedy algorithms; randomized algorithms; P and NP; approximate algorithms for NP-hard problems or polynomial algorithms for subproblems of NP-hard problems; partial recursive functions; computations and undecidable problems.
