COMP10030 Algorithmic Problem Solving
Aims and Objectives : Over the last 40 years Computing Scientists have learned a lot about Problem Solving. What we will do in this modue is to interoduce you to some of the techniques and strategies which we have learned. For anyone intending to read for a degree in Computer Science, this module will introduce you to a number of the fundamental concepts which you will use again and again throughout your studies and subsequent career.If you intend to read for a degree in another subject you will still benefit from taking the module because the problem solving techniques can be applied in most other areas.The material will be presented using puzzles and games and does not require any computer skills.

Lovely module, easy enough and pretty interesting
It's just general puzzle solving but forming algorithms. Think the fox the cabbage the farmer and the goat problem.
I would recommend this as an elective as it actually takes a fun approach to solving problems, you basically sit in lectures and try to work out riddles and brain teasers!
I would highly recommend this module to others because this module is highly interesting and fun to do. You just need to do some deep thinking in the lectures and solve puzzles. There is no input required outside the lecture halls
