CS3D5A Data Structures and Algorithms, 2016

This new a course I was asked to make from scratch for the School of Engineering third year students. There are therefore some bugs. This was a very intense (1 hour per day) practical work heavy course based on a typical Algorithms format.

  C Programming,
  First Assignment,
  Complexity Analysis,
  Reverse a Linked List on the Whiteboard (and other lamentable interview questions),
  Hash Tables,
  Makefiles,
  Technical Writing,
  Sorting Algorithms Part 1,
  Sorting Algorithms Part 2,
  Binary Space Partitioning,
  Quicksort,
  Abstract Data Types,
  Search Algorithms Part 1,
  Heaps,
  Sets, Bags, Graphs,
  Graphs Case Study,
  Graph Search, demo code,
  Dijkstras Algorithm,
  Greedy Best-First Search,
