 Aims
- To design correct and efficient algorithms to solve well specified computational problems.
- To motivate the choice of appropriate data structures and algorithms.
- To implement data structures and algorithms in Java in a professional way.
- To apply object-oriented programming principles such as genericity, data abstraction, composition and reusability.
- To work efficiently in teams for the analysis, design, programming and documentation of the proposed solutions.
Main themes
- Computational complexity
- Specifications and object-oriented design
- Basic data structures (lists, trees, binary search trees): study of their abstract properties, practical representations, concrete applications and associated algorithms
- Introduction to data structures design pattersn
- Advanced data structures and algorithms: hash tables, heaps, balanced search trees, text processing techniques, dictionaries, graph representation and processing
Content and teaching methods
