Course description

The goal of this course is to convey an understanding of abstract data types, common data structures, necessary discrete structures and complexity analysis. The course is taught using the Java language and emphasizes an object oriented approach to data structures. Specific topics in data structures/algorithms include advanced sorting, queues, stacks, hashing, trees, and graphs. Complementary topics from theory include recurrence relations, trees, and graphs.
