  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:

  The official course description focuses strongly on data structures and
  the algorithms that implement them. This fall, we will indeed study these
  structures; however, most of the course will focus on algorithms in a
  broader sense. 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.
