Learn when and how to use different data structures and their algorithms in your own code. This is harder as a student, as the problem assignments you'll work through just won't impart this knowledge.

The data structures and algorithms you use critically affect two factors in your applications: Memory usage (for data structures). CPU time (for algorithms that interact with those data structures).

Building fast and highly performant data science applications requires an intimate knowledge of how data can be organized in a computer and how to efficiently perform operations such as sorting, ...

Undergraduate algorithms (CSCI 3104), data structures (CSCI 2270), discrete mathematics (CSCI 2824) and two semesters of calculus, or equivalents. We will assume that the student has already taken an ...
