About the Course

This online course covers basic algorithmic techniques and ideas for computational problems arising frequently in practical applications: sorting and searching, divide and conquer, greedy algorithms, dynamic programming. We will learn a lot of theory: how to sort data and how it helps for searching; how to break a large problem into pieces and solve them recursively; when it makes sense to proceed greedily; how dynamic programming is used in genomic studies. You will practice solving computational problems, designing new algorithms, and implementing solutions efficiently (so that they run in less than a second)....

I liked the fact that the algorithms are not just the introductory searching and sorting algorithms. The assignments are fairly difficult (I have decent scripting experience), but not impossibly so.

The course was really amazing which provided deep knowledge from basic to advance that how algorithms works and how to design algorithms. Thanks to all the expert teachers who taught in this course.

Course covers most of the classic algorithms problems. There should have been final exam.

The assignments were really great. The greedy lectures would have been more interesting.

The dynamic programming classes could be really improved, but, overall, a solid course.

Once they dig into the material, the difficulty ramps up, and it's absolutely worth it!

The course structure is very good. But the slight problem I saw is the teaching style.

Explanation could have been more clear, especially for polynomial multiplication.
