Synopsis:
"Data Structures and the Standard Template Library" by William Collins teaches the fundamentals of Data Structures and their implementations. It uses C++ as the language of instruction. Most of the data structures are provided in the Standard Template Library (STL), which students will be able to use in their further coursework and beyond. To further students' understanding of implementation issues, alternative implementation (other than the STL) are also discussed. Hands-on learning is promoted throughout the text by the use of Programming Projects and labs. Programming projects, at the end of each chapter, allow students to develop and implement their own data structures or to extend or apply data structures introduced in the chapter. Additionally, optional labs accompany the text and allow students to practice by giving them opportunities to code. These labs can be used in many different ways such as in a closed lab, in an open lab, or for optional homework assignments.
From the Publisher:
Optional labs encourage active learning as well as use of the scientific method because each lab is set up as an experiment, which asks students to observe, hypothesize, test, and draw conclusions.
This book is pedagogically rich, giving the students many tools to help them navigate through the book including chapter objectives, margin notes, examples, applications, figures, highlighted equations and programming projects.
Motivating writing style: Collins' ability to motivate, his reader-friendly writing style, and his clear explanations make this subject accessible to students.
Collins' use of the Standard Template Library gives students exposure to professionally written code that they will be able to continue to use in the future.
