Aim:
The aim of the course is to give students the tools to independently be able to create programs that solve practical problems dealing with large amounts of data, taking into account efficient use of time and memory. Upon completion of the course the student should fulfill the following learning outcomes.
- To propose specific data structures and algorithms to address practical problems.
- To motivate objectively the choices made, concerning chosen data structures, and relate to the known scientific results in the field.
- To analyze the trade offs, regarding efficiency in several aspects, of different data structures proposed for addressing a practical problem.
- To implement and use the data structures and algorithms in application programs.
