• CPSC 374: Algorithms and Data Structures

  3.00 Credits

  Slippery Rock University of Pennsylvania

  
  This course establishes a foundation for the systematic study of algorithms and data structures. The integration of these two concepts into a single organizational structure emphasizes that algorithms and data structures are inseparably inter-twined. This course builds and elaborates on the concepts introduced in CPSC 246. This course will be taught in a language other than that used in CPSC 246.
