In this series, for the most part, I’ll focus on higher-level algorithms used to process data structures, such as the Binary Search and Matrix Multiplication algorithms.

When a program attempts to search a data structure for a particular item, it uses an algorithm. An algorithm is a process, defined in code, for carrying out a specific task.

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, ...

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.

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 ...

For nearly as long as companies have hired programmers, managers have asked engineering candidates to solve fundamental algorithm and data structure problems. And for nearly just as long ...
