Course overview

Building upon prior knowledge on basic data structures and algorithms, this course aims to elevate student’s sound theoretical understanding and practical skills for solving complex problems using advanced data structures and algorithms. The course will strengthen sound theoretical knowledge on computational complexity and proving validity of algorithms. Advanced data structures such as self-balancing trees, graphs, maps and hash maps, will be explained, along with their relevant algorithms, as well as advanced approaches to problem solving. Learner’s will gain and strengthen their knowledge and skills to solve complex problems by applying and building advanced data structures and algorithms.
