| Periodicity | yearly recurring course |
| Language of instruction | English |
| Comment | Number of participants limited to 24. As a prerequisite, students must have more than just basic knowledge on algorithms and data structures. If you have enjoyed the class "Algorithms, Probability and Computing", this seminar is just right for you! The deadline for deregistering expires at the end of the second week of the semester. Students who are still registered after that date, but do not attend the seminar, will officially fail the seminar. Takes place for the last time! |
