About this course
A systematic treatment of advanced data structures, algorithm analysis, and abstract data types in the Python programming language, intended for computer science majors as well as non-majors and professionals seeking advanced Python experience. Coding topics include large program software engineering design, multi-dimensional arrays, string processing, primitives, compound types, and allocation of instance and static data. Data structure concept topics include dynamic memory, inheritance, polymorphism, hierarchies, recursion, linked-lists, stacks, queues, trees, hash tables, and graphs. Algorithm concept topics include searching, big-O time complexity, analysis of all major sorting techniques, top down splaying, AVL tree balancing, shortest path algorithms, minimum spanning trees, and maximum flow graphs.
