Gaining Algorithmic Insight through Simplifying Constraints.
Ginat, David
JCSE Online, Apr 2002
Discusses algorithmic problem solving in computer science education, particularly algorithmic insight, and focuses on the relevance and effectiveness of the heuristic simplifying constraints which involves simplification of a given problem to a problem in which constraints are imposed on the input data. Presents three examples involving mathematical formulation, spatial calculations, and optimization. (LRW)
