Description

CALENDAR DESCRIPTION:

Introduction to a variety of practical and important data structures and methods for implementation and for experimental and analytical evaluation. Topics include: stacks, queues and lists; search trees; hash tables and algorithms; efficient sorting; object-oriented programming; time and space efficiency analysis; and experimental evaluation. Quantitative.

COURSE DETAILS:

The course will cover the ofllowing topics (possibly in different order)

  • Object-oriented programming in Java
  • Abstract data types (ADTs)
  • Data structures:
    • lists, stacks, queues, sets
    • trees, binary trees, binary search trees, self balancing trees
    • priority queues, heaps
    • hash tables
    • disk-bound data
  • Algorithms:
    • searching and sorting
    • graph traversing
    • recursion, divide and conquer
  • Time and space efficiency of algorithms. Big-O notation and the Master Theorem

Topics might slightly vary.

Grading

NOTES:

Grades for this course may be based on: programming assignments, midterm exam, final exam, and a final project.
The exact details of the marking scheme will be given in the first week of the course.

ACADEMIC INTEGRITY: YOUR WORK, YOUR SUCCESS

SFU’s Academic Integrity website http://www.sfu.ca/students/academicintegrity.html is filled with information on what is meant by academic dishonesty, where you can find resources to help with your studies and the consequences of cheating. Check out the site for more information and videos that help explain the issues in plain English.

Each student is responsible for his or her conduct as it affects the university community. Academic dishonesty, in whatever form, is ultimately destructive of the values of the university. Furthermore, it is unfair and discouraging to the majority of students who pursue their studies honestly. Scholarly integrity is required of all members of the university. http://www.sfu.ca/policies/gazette/student/s10-01.html
