Abstract

This paper advocates a particular approach to the teaching of data structures and algorithm design by supplementing the usual topics with an intensive study of implementations of a single algorithm. This approach intends to provide a consistent overall focus for the students as they move through the course and create an appreciation of the practical impact of the techniques learned in the course.
