I. COURSE OVERVIEW:
The course covers some of the general-purpose data structures and algorithms, and software development. Topics
covered include managing complexity, analysis, static data structures, dynamic data structures and hashing
mechanisms. The main objective of the course is to teach the students how to select and design data structures and
algorithms that are appropriate for problems that they might encounter in real life. This course reaches to student
by power point presentations, lecture notes, and lab which involve the problem solving in mathematical and
engineering areas.

II. COURSE OBJECTIVES:


The students will try to learn:
I. To provide students with skills needed to understand and analyze performance trade-offs of different
algorithms / implementations and asymptotic analysis of their running time and memory usage.
II. To provide knowledge of basic abstract data types (ADT) and associated algorithms: stacks, queues, lists, tree,
graphs, hashing and sorting, selection and searching.
III. The fundamentals of how to store, retrieve, and process data efficiently.
IV. To provide practice by specifying and implementing these data structures and algorithms in Python.
V. Understand essential for future programming and software engineering courses.
