data structure and algorithm I Prof. Hsin-Mu (Michael) Tsai (蔡欣穆) Department of Computer Science and Information Engineering National Taiwan University
the Teaching team dsa1@csie.ntu.edu.tw DATA STRUCTURE AND ALGORITHM I HSIN-MU TSAI, FALL 2010
Class time & location • Location: CSIE Building 102 • Time: Fridays, NTU class time for 2, 3, 4 • 第二節 09:10~10:00 • 第三節 10:20~11:10 • 第四節 11:20~12:10 • How about 9:10-10:00, 10:10-11:00, 11:10-12:00? • 150 minutes of class, 30 minutes of break, 9:1012:10 • What combination? DATA STRUCTURE AND ALGORITHM I HSIN-MU TSAI, FALL 2010
textbook • Fundamentals of Data Structures in C, 2nd Edition, 2008 • Horowitz, Sahni, and Anderson-Freed DATA STRUCTURE AND ALGORITHM I HSIN-MU TSAI, FALL 2010
syllabus • Will follow the content of the textbook closely. • Topics: • Basic concepts • Arrays and structures • Stacks and queues • Linked lists • Trees • Graphs • Sorting • Hashing • Priority queues • Other search structures DATA STRUCTURE AND ALGORITHM I HSIN-MU TSAI, FALL 2010
grades • 2 exams • Midterm: November 12, 2010 (15%) (covers up to the class before the exam) • Final: January 14, 2011 (25%) (covers everything) • 6 homework assignments (60%) • Only the best 5 will contribute to your final grade. • Each of the 5 will contribute 12% of your total score (5 x 12%=60%) • Each homework will include: • Programming assignments • Paper assignments • Extra credits for interactions with the instructor and TA’s. DATA STRUCTURE AND ALGORITHM I HSIN-MU TSAI, FALL 2010
Grades • From this school year, all grades for courses will be LETTER GRADES (A, B, C, F). • A small difference in your grades WILL NOT affect your final grade. • Letter grade for this course: (just for reference) • A+: 90-100, A: 85-59, A-: 80-84 • B+: 77-79, B: 73-76, B-: 70-72 • C+: 67-69, C: 63-66, C-: 60-62 • F: <59 DATA STRUCTURE AND ALGORITHM I HSIN-MU TSAI, FALL 2010
policy • AbsolutelyNO COPYING (and other unethical actions) in both exams and homework (programming and paper homework). • If you get caught, you will get an F (FAIL) grade for the course. No second chance. • It is OKAY to discuss with your classmates. But write the programs/answers by yourselves. Please write-down your partner’s name for each question in the homework. • AbsolutelyNO LATE HOMEWORK SUBMISSION. • You get 0 point if you don’t submit before the deadline. • However, we still “grade” it for you if you submit after the deadline. DATA STRUCTURE AND ALGORITHM I HSIN-MU TSAI, FALL 2010
policy • Grading criterion will be specified for each homework and exam. • We DISCOURAGE bargaining for higher grades (homework & exams) • Doesn’t make much sense for LETTER GRADES • Unless it is a trivial grading error made by us • Our policy: if you ask for a higher grade, please find someone who wrote the same or worse answers than yours, but has a higher grade. Submit both his/hers and yours to us. DATA STRUCTURE AND ALGORITHM I HSIN-MU TSAI, FALL 2010
teaching philosophy • The course will focus on “how to use & implement the data structures and associated algorithms”, especially in realistic scenarios. • The goal is for “almost everyone” to understand the course materials. • You WILL have programming training in this course (homework assignments). • Prerequisites: • C programming language • Basic mathematics • Please compare with Prof. Hsueh-I Lu’s (呂學一教授) course objectives and pick the one you like to take. • Same time, same course, different content. • Possibly same grade distribution DATA STRUCTURE AND ALGORITHM I HSIN-MU TSAI, FALL 2010
Resources • Course website: • http://www.csie.ntu.edu.tw/~hsinmu/courses/dsa1_10fall • Download all course materials from here. • Lecture notes • Homework & solutions • Submit your homework to CEIBA (through the links on the course website) • Discussion board on CEIBA (through the links on the course website) • E-mail for asking anything about the course: • dsa1@csie.ntu.edu.tw DATA STRUCTURE AND ALGORITHM I HSIN-MU TSAI, FALL 2010
聽懂上課內容、讀懂課本內容並不夠 要能夠講給別人聽, 講不清楚,就是不懂 把聽懂想懂的內容用自己的話寫下來 寫不下來,就是不懂 學習這門課的訣竅 呂學一老師 的投影片
我的課堂上沒有笨問題 問到就是賺到 當場弄懂最有效率 別怕承認不會, 就是不會才要學, 會了何必來? 我不點名,來不來上課沒關係 進度不重要 演算法沒有甚麼是非教到不可的範圍 演算法永遠教不完 範例問題: 可以請老師把XXX部分再說一次嗎? 提醒:不保證適用全台大的課堂 鼓勵同學發問、多和老師互動 呂學一老師 的投影片
其他事項 • 加退選 • 上課時間 (請班代幫忙彙整同學意見) • 對這門課的期望? 希望學到什麼? • Review C Pointers • 發言之後下課以後請找助教登記 DATA STRUCTURE AND ALGORITHM I HSIN-MU TSAI, FALL 2010
