What is Introduction to Approximation Algorithms about?

This document provides an introduction to approximation algorithms. It defines key concepts like approximation ratio and performance ratio. It presents the vertex cover problem and shows that a simple greedy algorithm that returns a maximal matching has an approximation ratio of 2, proving it is a 2-approximation algorithm. Finally, it discusses combinatorial algorithms and gives examples like the set cover problem that can be approximated using greedy techniques.
