Book Description
Data encountered in a computer program is classified by type. Common types include integers, floating point numbers, Boolean values, and characters. Data structures are a means of aggregating many of these scalar values into a larger collection of values.
An algorithm is an explicit sequence of instructions, performed on data, to accomplish a desired objective.
This open access book serves as a gentle introduction for undergraduates to theoretical concepts in data structures and algorithms in computer science while providing coverage of practical implementation (coding) issues. The field of computer science (CS) supports a multitude of essential technologies in science, engineering, and communication as a social medium. The varied and interconnected nature of computer technology permeates countless career paths making CS a popular and growing major program. Mastery of the science behind computer science relies on an understanding of the theory of algorithms and data structures. These concepts underlie the fundamental tradeoffs that dictate performance in terms of speed, memory usage, and programming complexity that separate novice programmers from professional practitioners.

Open Data Structures
Offered as an introduction to the field of data structures and algorithms, Open Data Structures covers the implementation and analysis of data structures for sequences (lists), queues, priority queues, unordered dictionaries, ordered dictionaries, and graphs. Focusing on a mathematically rigorous approach that is fast, practical, and efficient, Mor
Data Structures and Algorithms
This book provides implementations of common and uncommon algorithms in pseudocode which is language independent and provides for easy porting to most imperative programming languages. It is not a definitive book on the theory of data structures and algorithms. For the most part this book presents implementations devised by the authors themselves b
Problem Solving with Algorithms and Data Structures, 3rd Edition
The study of algorithms and data structures is central to understanding what computer science is all about. Learning computer science is not unlike learning any other type of difficult subject matter. The only way to be successful is through deliberate and incremental exposure to the fundamental ideas. A beginning computer scientist needs practice
