Learning outcomes
The students become acquainted in this course with the basic data structures and their usage for effective algorithm design. Students will master the basic algorithmic constructions and procedures for algorithm development. The overview of basic abstract data type (field, list, tree, dictionary) and often used algorithms aimed above all on data organization (sorting, searching) is in practice the main part of this course. Also binary search trees, AVL trees, R-B trees, B trees and hash tables will be introduced.
The graduate of the course will understand basic principles of algorithms; he will be able to create simple algorithms and to use them when creating his proper programmes.
Prerequisites
Introductory course - knowledge of high school mathematics

Assessment methods and criteria
Combined exam, Interim evaluation

Working out a seminar work (design of program in any programming language with a chosen algorithm), fulfillment of final written test.
