These lecture notes cover the key ideas involved in designing algorithms. We shall see how
they depend on the design of suitable data structures, and how some structures and algorithms
are more efficient than others for the same task. We will concentrate on a few basic tasks,
such as storing, sorting and searching data, that underlie much of computer science, but the
techniques discussed will be applicable much more generally.
