Teamprojekt Algorithmik

For a successful experience in this course and to effectively work on the projects, students are expected to meet the following prerequisites:

1. Proficiency in Python: The course's programming components will be exclusively conducted in Python. It is essential that you have a solid grasp of Python, as there will not be sufficient time to learn the language during the course.
2. Algorithmic Foundations:
   • Completion of Algorithms and Data Structures 1 is compulsory for foundational knowledge.
   • It is advisable to have also completed (or complete in parallel) Algorithms and Data Structures 2 and Network Algorithms to be better prepared for the more complex topics.
   • Additionally, it is beneficial to have attended Logic for Computer Scientist and Theoretical Computer Science I+II to be familiar with NP-hardness and propositional logic.
3. Unix-Based Operating System:
   • Access to a Unix system, which could be in the form of a virtual machine, is required for the course. Students should possess a fundamental understanding of Unix command-line operations.
   • While most of the tools and software used in this course are compatible with Windows, support for Windows-specific issues cannot be guaranteed.
4. Version Control with Git:
   • A basic familiarity with Git is needed for version control purposes. While Git skills can be acquired swiftly, students are expected to learn them independently prior to or during the initial phase of the course.

Please ensure you meet these requirements to engage fully in the course activities. If you have any questions or need clarification on the prerequisites, feel free to reach out to us.

Our institute offers opportunities for team projects. If you have already formed a group and have a potential topic in mind, please reach out to Dominik via email. In your message, include the names of your team members and a brief description of their interests and skills. If you have an idea for a project, please provide a pitch as well.

If you are are a group with at most four members or an individual without a group, you can participate in the Algorithmik-Praktikum as team project. It would be great if you let Dominik know in advance about your plans by dropping him a mail, but you can also just sign up for the Algorithmik-Praktikum and we will figure things out during the kickoff-meeting. Note that you can do the Algorithmik-Praktikum only once, independent of if you are doing it as a team project or a lab (Wahlpflicht).

Other potential topics are:

• Developing a server and web-interface for CheckMyText.
• Improving the CP-SAT Log Analyzer.
• Continuing the development of Slurminade.
• Interactive versions of algorithms for education.
• Other cool ideas you may have...
