Data Structures and Algorithms

Catalog description

Data structures are ways to organize, store and retrieve data while algorithms are strategies for processing the data to solve computational problems. Efficient computer applications require good use of data structures and algorithms. This course introduces students to analysis and design of fundamental data structures and algorithms that are the basis of modern applications today. Students will learn to write algorithms, evaluate tradeoffs between different algorithms and assess the efficiency of the best possible algorithm for solving complex computational problems. Pre-requisites: IT-508 and IT-501.
