Advanced Algorithms and Data Structures

Catalog description

This course explains the design, analysis, and implementation of data structures and algorithms essential for solving computational problems in computer science. Building upon foundational knowledge, students explore and implement advanced data structures and advanced algorithms, including binary search trees, linked lists, graphs, and hash tables. The course also addresses data storage methods, external storage techniques, sorting strategies, and a range of algorithmic design paradigms such as dynamic programming. Emphasis is placed on applying theory through programming languages like Python and other high-level tools to support software development and systems development. By working with these concepts, students strengthen their skills in analysis, implementation, and optimization, aligning with program outcomes in the broader subject of computer science. (Prerequisite: CSCI500) Spanish language learners may complete this course in Spanish.
