CS-209 WRITTEN & ORAL TECHNICAL COMMUNICATION
(Communication skills for Scientists and Engineers)
OBJECTIVES:
The course is intended to develop a student’s ability to communicate both in speech and writing in the Situation that he/she is likely to come across in his/her academic and working life.
CS-207 DATA STRUCTURES & PROGRAMMING METHODOLOGY
PREREQUISITES:
The algorithms presented should be written in a pseudocode similar to the programming language Pascal / C and therefore, the readers should preferable be familiar with Pascal / C. The experience in structured programming and knowledge of combinatorial mathematics would be helpful.
OBJECTIVES:
The course should provide one with a fairly good concept of the fundamentals of data structures and also of the commonly occurring algorithms. The mathematical model of data is an abstract concept of data such as set, list or graph. To make it useful for problem solving the abstraction is made concrete by going into the data structure of the model- its implementation and associated algorithms. Given a data structure, quite frequently , several alternative algorithms exist for the same operation. Naturally, the question analyzing an algorithm to determine its performance in relation to the other alternatives becomes important. The course should present the general approach towards analyzing and evaluating algorithms and while presenting an algorithm, its analysis should also be included as and when required.
