Data Structures and Algorithm Analysis

Learning Outcomes

Upon successful completion of this course, students are expected to be able to: Describe the use of various data structures; Explain and apply appropriate operations for maintaining common data structures; Apply appropriate data structures and simple algorithms for solving computing problems; Design computer programs applying different data structures and related algorithms.

Topics

This course serves as a one of the foundation courses in Computer Science. It provides students with an understanding of the principles of data structures and algorithms in the design and development of computer software. Students will learn basic data structures and its use in different algorithms that are commonly used in making structured and efficient software programs. Part of the course will also cover a short introduction in the analysis of algorithms. Students are expected to have taken an introductory course in programming using C/C++.
