MA-GY 5413 Stringology: Mathematics of String Comparisons in Computational Biology

3 Credits
The course addresses basic combinatorial problems of string manipulation, string matching, string editing, and string distance computations that arise from areas of text processing. Computational biology and genomics. Classical, modern, and entirely new approaches to these problems are presented with all necessary mathematical and computer science backgrounds (including coding theory and symbolic manipulation). Emphasis is on practical and effective algorithm implementations.
