An introductory course in data structures with applications
Abstract
This paper describes a two semester introductory course in data (information) structures for the undergraduate computer science student that has evolved at the University of Saskatchewan, Saskatoon. The philosophy and organization of such a course are discussed. A comparison is made between the course described and data structure courses proposed by two commitees 'on curricula.
