Data Structures, Algorithms, and Software Principles
Thomas A. Standish · Medical Entomology and Zoology · 1994
From the Publisher: It is assumed that students using this book for a CS2 course will have already taken a CS1 course covering introductory programming using Pascal. Highlights Develops the concepts and theory of data structures and algorithm analysis step-by-step, in a gradual fashion, proceeding from concrete examples to abstract principles Uses recurring themes such as recursion, levels of abstraction, efficiency, and trade-offs to unify the material completely Provides mathematical foundations that can be engaged at a variety of depths Covers traditional software engineering principles as well as introducing new concepts such as risk-based software lifecycle models, rapid prototyping, and reusable software components Introduction to object-oriented programming
