Using interactive visualization for teaching the theory of NP-completeness [book]

Christian Pape
1997
In this paper we investigate the potential of interactive visualization for teaching the theory of NP-completeness to undergraduate students of computer science. Based on this analysis we developed some interactive Java applets which we use to present an NP-complete tiling problem PUZZLE in our lecture. This software is integrated into our hypertext lecture notes and our students also use it to find an NP-completeness proof for PUZZLE as an exercise.
