Upcoming "Vertiefungskurse" (March)

tl;dr:
– 10.03. – 14.03. Algorithm Engineering Vertiefungskurs


Hey everyone,

We would like to invite you to the first of our “Vertiefungskurse” (somewhat like “extra courses”) that is offered in english! 🙂
You can find more information about it below.
In case you are also interested in the two other of our courses during the semester break that are German only, feel free to take a look at the German version of this article.

We are looking forward to seeing you!
Your student council computer science

 

# What is a “Vertiefungskurs”?
Vertiefungskurse are offered by students for students and are organized by the Student Body Council Computer Science.
The goal of these courses is to give you insights into topics that are not covered elsewhere in your studies.
Vertiefungskurse take place in a block format — this means there is a lecture and an exercise session every day.

To help us plan better, it would be great if you could join the Computer Science Masters Discord and express your interest in the corresponding event!

# Algorithm Engineering Vertiefungskurs
## What is the content?
An introduction to Algorithm Engineering, the process of modeling real-world problems as mathematical optimization/decision problems, analyzing them theoretically, and implementing practically efficient algorithms that combine theoretical insights with practical experience.

Topics include:
– How does the Algorithm Engineering Development Cycle work?
– Efficient implementation of fundamental algorithmic problems
– What practical factors are ignored in theoretical analysis?
– How do we test and benchmark algorithms effectively?
– What do we do when theory only tells us, “This is really hard”?

The course will be taught in english.

## When and where?
March 10th – 14th
Lectures: Lecture Hall A, Nussallee 10 (Anatomy), 11 AM – 1 PM
Exercises: CIP Pools at the Institute of Computer Science, 2 PM – 4 PM
