Core Concepts of Algorithm Design and Computational Problem Solving
Unit– 1
Problems and Problem Instances
A problem in computer science is a clearly defined task or situation that requires a solution using logical and computational methods. It describes what needs to be achieved without specifying how to achieve it. A problem usually includes input data, required output, and certain constraints that must be satisfied. For example, “finding the maximum number in a list” is a problem statement. A problem instance is a specific example of that problem with actual

The Importance of Academic Sources
Sources are fundamental to academic rigor and provide:
- Credibility: Proof of academic rigor.
- Perspectives: Balance of views.
- Depth: Analysis beyond surface knowledge.
Maximizing Marks with Source Use
Correct use of primary and secondary sources leads to higher marks in:
- Criteria A: Focus and Method
- Criteria C: Critical Thinking
Defining Primary Sources
Direct, first-hand evidence created at the time under study; not interpreted by another author.
Examples of Primary Sources
- History:
Molecular Geometry, Gas Laws, and Intermolecular Forces
Molecular Geometry and Hybridization
To determine electron domain geometry, molecular geometry, hybridization, polarity, and bond angles, you must count electron domains (bonding pairs and lone pairs) around the central atom of a Lewis structure.
- Electron Domain Geometry: The arrangement of all electron domains. For example, four domains result in a tetrahedral geometry.
- Molecular Geometry: The arrangement of only the atoms. For example, four domains with one lone pair result in a trigonal pyramidal
Database Clustering vs Parallel Architecture: Performance
Database Clustering and Parallel Architecture Fundamentals
Understanding Database Clusters
Definition of a Database Cluster
A Database Cluster is a group of databases or database servers that work together to store data, share workload, and improve overall performance and reliability.
Key Benefits of Database Clustering
Database clusters are essential for modern applications due to several critical advantages:
- High Availability: If one server fails, another server will automatically handle the database

Unit 1: Business Environment Foundations
Nature and Determinants of Business Environment
The business environment refers to all external forces that influence a firm’s decisions, performance, and growth. It includes economic conditions, political stability, legal frameworks, technological changes, socio-cultural factors, and global trends. These components work together to create opportunities or threats for businesses. Determinants like government policies, market competition, resource availability,
