Overview
The course will introduce participants to the basics of the core part of Computer Science: Algorithms and Data Structures. Algorithms from various areas will be explained in a detailed manner with many examples.
Both theoretical foundations and details of practical applications will be discussed. Python programming language will be used for code snippets. Programming assignments will help participants to “learn by doing”.
Learning highlights
- Participants will learn many basic algorithms, understand where and how they can be applied, be able to analyze algorithm time and memory complexity, and learn to code them. This knowledge will allow students to take further, more advanced Computer Science courses, as well as to improve their general coding skills.
