Algorithm Design: Complexity & Techniques

The presentation on Algorithm Design and Analysis covers fundamental concepts such as time and space complexity, asymptotic notations, and the differences between recursion and iteration. It explains how time complexity measures the duration an algorithm takes based on input size, while space complexity measures memory usage. Additionally, it discusses various cases of time complexity and visualizes asymptotic behavior for better understanding.

Recursion vs. Iteration
Recursion
Function calls itself until a base case is reached.
Elegant for some problems.

Iteration
Uses loops to repeat a set of instructions. More
efficient in some cases.

Examples
Factorial calculation can be done using both methods.
Each has tradeoffs.
