You're going to learn about data structures and algorithms as they are applied in real world computer systems. This course and the examples are applied in computer systems examples so you can understand how foundational data structures are used in nearly every modern machine.
Registrar Description: Presents an integrated approach to the study of data structures, algorithms, and their application within systems topics. Introduces a variety of fundamental algorithmic techniques (divide-and-conquer, dynamic programming, graph algorithms) and systems topics (models of computation, computer architecture, compilation, system software, networking). Demonstrates the integration of topics through programming assignments in the C language that implement fundamental data structures (lists, queues, trees, maps, graphs) and algorithms as they are applied in computer systems. Additional breadth topics include programming applications that expose students to primitives of different subsystems using threads and sockets.
By the end of this course, you will:
