What Is This Course About? • The computer program development process requires us to • represent data in an effective way • develop an efficient procedure (algorithm), which can be implemented as a computer program e.g., telephone directory • Effective data representation ⇒ data structures • Development of an efficient step-by-step procedure ⇒ algorithm design methods • The study of data structures and algorithms is fundamental to computer sciencee.g., interviews

How to get an “A”? • Take responsibility in learning • Make sure to catch up (w/ readings and exercises) • Build good reading/thinking habits • Reading to get the “big picture”e.g., compare/contrast different structures • Thinking to smart up and analyze your codes (beating JAVA for 21 days/dummies) • Learn to participate 0 10 shy-o-meter classroom bulletin board office hour anonymous
