The zyBooks version of the classic Data Structures & Algorithms textbook provides a powerful interactive learning environment
The Data Structures & Algorithms in Java zyVersion contains the complete 6th edition text, plus new interactive animations and learning questions to help students learn faster and more effectively.
- Comprehensive textbook covers both introductory and advanced topics, including data structures and algorithms, mathematical analysis, and code design
- Employs an object-oriented paradigm as the framework for designing data structures
- Extensive code base matches many standard Java libraries, and the complete code base for the the book is available on GitHub
Co-author Professor Michael Goldwasser demonstrates the power of an interactive approach to data structures:
What is a zyVersion?
zyVersions are leading print titles converted and adapted to zyBooks’ interactive learning platform, allowing for a quick and easy transition to an engaging digital experience for instructors and students.
zyBooks’ web-native content helps students visualize concepts to learn faster and more effectively than with a traditional textbook. (Check out our research.)
This zyVersion of Data Structures & Algorithms in Java benefits both students and instructors:
- Instructor benefits
- Customize your course by reorganizing existing content or adding your own
- Continuous publication model updates your course with the latest content and technologies
- Robust reporting gives you insight into students’ progress, reading and participation
- Animations and other interactive content can be shown in presentation mode and used during a lecture
- Student benefits
- Learning questions and other content serve as an interactive form of reading
- Instant feedback on homework
- Concepts come to life through extensive animations embedded into the interactive content
- Save chapters as PDFs to reference the material at any time
