COM 210 - Algorithms and Data Structures


This course explores specific classes of problems and their solutions. Fundamental questions concerning computational complexity, data storage and access, data encapsulation using objects, space/time bounds, optimal algorithms and data structures including lists, queues, and trees, are addressed. Algorithms for important classes of problems such as searching, sorting, and pattern-matching will be designed, implemented and tested in a laboratory environment. (Corresponds to ACM CS2.)

Prerequisites: COM 152  and MAT 203 , each with minimum of C-, or departmental approval.
3 hours a week, plus lab 1 semester 3 credits.
