  301: Algorithms (4 credits)

  Study of structures used to organize data and of the algorithms used to 
  manipulate these structures. Assignments to implement data structures 
  and to use them in computer science and other applications programs. 
  Emphasis on mathematical principles behind the data structures. 
  Prerequisites: Computer Science 152 or 153 and Mathematics 218.

From the instructor:

  In my opinion, there is a slight mismatch between the title of this
  course and its course description. In the Fall 2006 rendition of the
  course we will do service to both. We will study data structures and 
  the algorithms that operate on them in the first few weeks, and then
  we will study algorithms in a broader sense for the remainder of the 
  course. We will explore various algorithmic design techniques through 
  the study of canonical problems and the algorithms used to solve them. 
  Some of these algorithms will rely on the data structures we developed 
  earlier in the term.
