Data Structures & Algorithms Design

Catalog description

This doctoral-level course delves into advanced concepts of data structures and algorithm design through the lens of the C++ programming language, a foundational tool for developing high-performance software systems such as databases, multimedia frameworks, and operating systems. Students will critically analyze and implement data structures, including linked lists, arrays, stacks, and queues, emphasizing their optimization and scalability for complex systems. The course also explores advanced algorithm design paradigms, such as divide-and-conquer and dynamic programming, within the context of solving computationally intensive problems. Doctoral candidates will engage in research-driven projects to investigate emerging trends and innovative applications of these techniques, bridging theory with practice. The curriculum equips students with the expertise to contribute novel solutions to computational challenges in academia, industry, and beyond.
