Objective

The aim of the course is to equip student with skills of choosing the most appropriate data structure, using these data structures into different types of algorithms, analyzing the performance of proposed algorithms and choosing the most efficient one and programming these algorithms in C.

Course Content

Week 1 — Introduction to Data Structures and Algorithms; C language review
Week 2 — Arrays, pointers, linked lists, queues, stacks, recursive calls
Week 3 — Linked lists; complexity, Big-O notation, running time, computability
Week 4 — Search Methods and Trees 1: sequential search, binary search
Week 5 — Search Methods and Trees 2: Red-Black Trees, AVL trees, n-ary trees
Week 6 — Sorting Algorithms: Bubble sort, Quick sort, Insertion sort, Merge sort
Week 7 — Heap sort and heap trees; Bucket/Radix sort; hash tables; Huffman coding
Week 8 — Midterm Exam
Week 9 — Graphs: multidimensional arrays, graphs with pointers, undirected and directed graphs
Week 10 — Graphs: graph traversal (DFS, BFS), Kruskal, Prim, and Dijkstra algorithms
Week 11 — Dynamic Programming 1: Bellman–Ford and Floyd–Warshall algorithms
Week 12 — Matching Algorithms
Week 13 — End-of-term research presentations / individual performance evaluation
Week 14 — End-of-term research presentations / individual performance evaluation
