Bridge Course Algorithms and Data Structures (SS 19)
A blended learning bridge course for master students in Data Science
This course is intended for Data Science students with little background in computer science, in particular for students with a bachelor's degree in Mathematics, Physics or Electrical Engineering.
Exam
At the end of the term, there will be a written exam of 90 minutes.
Recommended exercises
On top of the
[problems and exercises]
posed at the MIT page, we also recommend the following exercises and problems from the book by Cormen et al (2nd edition).
Exercises are shown in black, and problems (listed in the final section of every chapter)
are shown in
red color.
