Summary

Data Structures for the Curious aims to make Computer Science topics accessible to programmers who have not taken a traditional computer science curriculum, as well as anyone looking for a practical refresher. The first volume in a series, this book focuses on ways that a computer scientist might organize or represent data, covering topics like the binary number system, graphs, hash tables, and trees. It contains no code or math and instead explains everything using hand-drawn visuals and text.
