Abstract This talk will feature a number of useful and basic Computer Science Algorithms written in Python. The following topics will be covered as part of the talk. * Understanding Algorithm Analysis. * Prime number generation and Primality Testing. * Sorting Algorithms: * Bubble * Shell * Insert * Merge * Quick * Graph Data Structure. How to Represent graphs in Python. Graph traversal in python. * Search algorithms. This talk is aimed towards undergraduate/graduate students and programmers. Algorithms written in Python would also reveal Python's expressiveness and show how the language does not come in your way of thinking and writing the actual code. Python 3.1 would be used for all example snippets. Examples in Python 2.6 would be available as a reference.

The abstract needs a little formatting..

Yes, but I was thinking that the change should be done in the software, because in the text box, I entered a formatted abstract. Is it that the user has to do HTML?..

this is a bug - must permit basic formatting..

I would rather suggest to break this talk in two, Algorithms in Python I and II for both the days. Covering all the material in a single talk would be kinda tight especially if you are undergraduates and graduate students to pick up the algorithma implementation with Python. Any particular reason to choose examples in Python 3.1 RC. you can use 2.6 with from __future__ import xxxx. so the students can get to play with python from their distros. ..

Thanks for your suggestion Ramki. I think it is a good idea to split the talk into two. Let me try to work it out. Python 3.1 because it is current version of python. :) ..

Mr Senthil Kumaran. The idea is really nice. I have already voted. :)..
