Summary

This is the syllabus for Data Structures and Algorithms course intended for undergraduate programs. The following sections provide brief information about Purpose, Description, Objectives, Prerequisites, References Documents and Grades of the course.

Letter to student

This course and this Student Manual reflect a collective effort by your instructor. This

course is an important component of our academic program. Although it has been offered

for many years, this latest version represents an attempt to expand the range of sources of

information and instruction so that the course continues to be up-to-date and the methods

well suited to what is to be learned.

You will be asked from time-to-time to offer feedback on how the Student Manual is

working and how the course is progressing. Your comments will inform the development

team about what is working and what requires attention. Our goal is to help you learn

what is important about this particular field and to eventually succeed as a professional

applying what you learn in this course.

This Student Manual is designed to assist you through the course by providing specific

information about student responsibilities including requirements, timelines and

evaluations.

I hope you enjoy the course.

Purposes of course

The purpose of this course is to understand important problems, challenges, concepts and techniques from the field of Algorithms and Data Structures. In order to achieve this, students learn how to design efficient algorithms, evaluate their time and space complexity. More specifically, in this course, students will:

  • learn good principles of algorithm design;
  • learn how to analyse algorithms and estimate their worst-case and average-case behaviour (in easy cases);
  • become familiar with fundamental data structures and with the manner in which these data structures can best be implemented;
  • become accustomed to the description of algorithms in both functional and procedural styles;
  • learn how to apply their theoretical knowledge in practice (via the practical component of the course).

Course description

This course introduces base knowledge of algorithm design, elementary analysis of algorithms, and fundamental data structures. The emphasis is on choosing appropriate data structures and designing correct and efficient algorithms to operate on these data structures.

In computer programming, algorithms play an important role. You will learn in this course how to develop efficient algorithms, analyse their running time and implement them efficiently. We discuss sorting algorithms, searching, recursion, dynamic and graph algorithms.

Questions & Answers

A golfer on a fairway is 70 m away from the green, which sits below the level of the fairway by 20 m. If the golfer hits the ball at an angle of 40° with an initial speed of 20 m/s, how close to the green does she come?

Chemistry is a branch of science that deals with the study of matter,it composition,it structure and the changes it undergoes

please, I'm a physics student and I need help in physics

chemistry could also be understood like the sexual attraction/repulsion of the male and female elements. the reaction varies depending on the energy differences of each given gender. + masculine -female.

A ball is thrown straight up.it passes a 2.0m high window 7.50 m off the ground on it path up and takes 1.30 s to go past the window.what was the ball initial velocity

can someone explain to me, an ignorant high school student, why the trend of the graph doesn't follow the fact that the higher frequency a sound wave is, the more power it is, hence, making me think the phons output would follow this general trend?
Joseph Reply
Nevermind i just realied that the graph is the phons output for a person with normal hearing and not just the phons output of the sound waves power, I should read the entire thing next time
Joseph
Follow up question, does anyone know where I can find a graph that accuretly depicts the actual relative "power" output of sound over its frequency instead of just humans hearing

A string is 3.00 m long with a mass of 5.00 g. The string is held taut with a tension of 500.00 N applied to the string. A pulse is sent down the string. How long does it take the pulse to travel the 3.00 m of the string?
