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 am thankful to Coursera and all the professors who taught this course.

This course helps me to understand all basics of algorithm. Looking forward to use my knowledge which I gained from this.

good course, I like the fact you can use a lot of languages for you programming exercises, the content is really helpful, I would like to have more indications from the grading system to save time.

Dynamic programming sections should be more decorated and contained more lectures to improve gradually and create control over this topic...

The pseudo-code is not that good to understand quickly. Please can you code in one language say C++? It will be easy to understand that way.

Some of the lectures are poorly explained, you'll need to review those 2-3 times to understand. Other than that, good course for beginners.

it would be better to change the way to submit assignment. its hard to coding in local and upload file every time to check my code.

Lectures are very confusing. Instructors should use white boarding to explain codes. Difficult to follow them.
