 # Computer Science 272 (COMP-272): Data Structures and Algorithms
 
+COMP 272 covers analysis and design of fundamental data structures and engages
+learners to use data structures as tools to algorithmically design efficient
+computer programs that will cope with the complexity of actual applications.
+
+The course focuses on basic and essential topics in data structures,
+including array-based lists, linked lists, skiplists, hash tables,
+recursion, binary trees, scapegoat trees, red–black trees, heaps,
+sorting algorithms, graphs, and binary trie.
