Overview:

This course introduces fundamental concepts and techniques in data structures and algorithms, essential to the efficient organization, manipulation, and retrieval of data. Through a blend of theory and practical implementation, students will explore various data structures such as arrays, linked lists, stacks, queues, trees, and graphs. Emphasis will be placed on understanding the strengths and weaknesses of each structure in different scenarios, as well as analyzing their time and space complexity.

The course covers classic algorithms for searching, sorting, and hashing, providing insights into their design principles and performance analysis. Students will gain hands-on experience in implementing these algorithms in a programming language of their choice, fostering skills in problem-solving, algorithmic thinking, and optimization.
