Data Structure

The soul of programming is said to be data structures and algorithms. Data structures aim to hold the data while the algorithms aim to solve the problem using the data. Data structures are the key to the computer algorithms which help the programmers to manage the data efficiently. The perfect selection of data helps to enhance the efficiency of the computer programme.

Computer science in this era is all about sorting and computing from given data. So, it is necessary to have a powerful knowledge about data structure, it will help one deal with different ways of arranging, storing and processing the data. It helps in utilizing maximum space and also decreases the complexity in deletion of data, addition as well as insertion of data.

To be a successful data processor one should acquire all the skills appropriately and should master their skills that will make them stand out of the crowd. Each and every company searches for an employee who has the ability to overcome all the problems and keep up to the needs and the requirements of the company. This is the platform where they can shape their skills for the same.

Advanced Algorithms and Complexity

If you have already learnt about the basics of Algorithms, you are now ready to take the next logical step into more complex algorithms and problem-solving. The idea behind this Advanced Algorithm and Complexity course is to teach you how to build upon the algorithm basics and utilize new ideas. In this course, we will be starting with network flows that are employed in the typical applications like detecting disjoint paths, optimal matching, and flight schedules along with a few other surprising applications like the segmentation of images in computer vision.

In the next segment, we teach linear programming with its application in allotting and optimizing budgets, Portfolio optimization, finding a diet that is cheap and satisfies all the requirements. Further, we discuss the inherent hard problems that have no perfectly good solutions known (and neither are likely to be found) and how you can solve them in practice. The course finishes with a slight introduction to the streaming of algorithms that are used, most heavily in Big Data Processing. These algorithms are mostly designed to process huge data sets without being capable of storing even a single dataset.
