#  Teaching CS 1200, "Algorithms and Their Limitations", This Fall Semester 

 





August 30, 2024

 

 

 This Fall Asst. Prof. Anurag Anshu and I will co-teach CS 1200, "Algorithms and Their Limitations".

 **Course Description:**

 An introductory course in theoretical computer science, aimed at giving students the power of using mathematical abstraction and rigorous proof to understand computation. Thus equipped, students will be able to design and use algorithms that apply to a wide variety of computational problems, with confidence about their correctness and efficiency, as well as recognize when a problem may have no algorithmic solution. At the same time, they will gain an appreciation for the beautiful mathematical theory of computation that is independent of (indeed, predates) the technology on which it is implemented.

 **Notes:** This course was previously numbered CS 120.

 **Meeting Times:** Tuesdays and Thursdays, 9:45-11am

 More information is available on the [course website](https://harvard-cs-1200.github.io/cs1200/) or on [Harvard's Canvas page](https://canvas.harvard.edu/courses/136155).
