Course History
DATA was first offered in 1992, when it boasted a grand total of seven students (six of them nomores) who spent the whole session in the Martin Library basement using the terrifically powerful MicroVax 3000 minicomputer trying to get a simple heap-based priority queue working. Or, just as often, being locked out of the basement lab (the librarians having never been told that a course was using it) and playing whist for hours on end. The textbooks were Aho-Hopcroft-Ullman and Cormen-Leiserson-Rivest, two books guaranteed to be of lifelong value to the budding CS student, or to anyone requiring a heavy blunt instrument for bludgeoning.
