BME 122 - Data Structures and Algorithms

Introduction to data structures and algorithms with emphasis on abstraction, problem-solving, and efficient organization of data. Topics include recursion, dynamic memory management, sequential and linked lists, stacks, queues, trees, graphs, fundamental algorithms for sorting and searching, and the analysis of algorithm efficiency in terms of time and memory. Problem-solving strategies, abstraction, and good programming style are emphasized with applications drawn from biomedical domains such as electronic medical records, health care management systems, and related biomedical data operations.
