Module description

This module aims to provide a more theoretical basis for understanding algorithms while being strongly motivated by practical applications, introducing classical algorithms and exposing students to the logic of algorithmic design, data structures and computational complexity.

Further details are available in the STAT0041 UCL Module Catalogue entry.

Prerequisite knowledge

STAT0041 is primarily intended for undergraduates within the Department of Statistical Science (including the MASS programmes). For these students, the academic prerequisites for this module are met through compulsory study earlier in their programme.

For outside students, the following module is considered a sufficient alternative prerequisite: COMP0015

Registration process

STAT0041 is offered as an elective. Prospective elective students who have taken the alternative prerequisite module listed above should simply register for STAT0041 on Portico and await a decision. Prospective elective students who have taken courses equivalent to the listed module must additionally consult a member of staff in the Department of Statistical Science.
