In partnership with
Track 1: "Advanced Computer Science Skills"
Specialized training focused on enhancing talented students' problem-solving skills and understanding of advanced algorithmic concepts. You will receive excellent preparation for the International Olympiad in Informatics (IOI), and the International Collegiate Programming Contest (ICPC).
Program is created for high school and univerisity students (14+ years old) who are preparing for national and international contests and olympiads.
Curriculum:
Olympiad Programming
We will devote the main part of our time to studying advanced algorithms (and related data structures) that allow us to solve non-standard competitive programming problems. In particular, we will cover algorithms on graphs, strings, geometric coordinates, and polynomials. Additionally, we will delve into some mathematical topics from number theory that are useful for solving complex programming problems.Document
