COMP3035J Advanced Program Construction

Academic Year 2021/2022

This module follows on from System Design and Verification, Comp3018J, and builds upon the knowledge and skills that have been learned in it. Once again the core aim is to show how to calculate correct algorithms. We lay particular emphasis on constructing efficient solutions. We examine a collection of problems whose solutions exploit properties such as symmetry, monotonicity and operator distribution.
