I am supposed to teach a data structures course to a class restricted to engineering, math, and science majors. I am looking for useful data structures and techniques that one would expect them to see in practice. So far, I have the following ideas. Home grown memory management Addressing polynomial exercises (banded, triangular, etc) Ideas arising in sparse matrix applications as a way of getting into linked lists and other sparse storage ideas. Storing and searching for functional relationships as discrete points. Complexity of various matrix operations, quadrature, numerical differentiation Please add your favorite examples / programming problems for data structures. Please reply directly to me and I'll post results if there is sufficient interest.
