Data Structures & Theory of Computation

Data Structures: Abstraction and Design Using Java, 3rd Edition, combines a strong emphasis on problem solving and software design with the study of data structures. The authors discuss applications of each data structure to motivate its study. After providing the specification (interface) and the implementation (a Java class), case studies that use the data structure to solve a significant problem are introduced.
