  abstract =     "We describe an approach for visually teaching
                 important proofs in the Junior-Senior level course on
                 the design and analysis of data structures and
                 algorithms (CS7/DS\&A). The main idea of this
                 educational paradigm is to justify important claims
                 about data structures and algorithms by using pictures
                 that visualize proofs so clearly that the pictures can
                 qualify as proofs themselves. The advantage of using
                 this approach for DS\&A is that it augments or even
                 replaces inductive arguments that many students find
                 difficult. Moreover, this paradigm communicates
                 important algorithmic facts in a compelling way for
                 students who are more visually-oriented. We illustrate
                 this technique by giving examples of visual proofs of
                 several key concepts in DS\&A.",
