Well researched. Topics covered well, with walkthrough for exam.le cases for each new introduced algorithm. Great experience, learned a lot of important algorithms and algorithmic thinking practices.
Thank you for teaching me this course. I learned a lot of new things, including Divide-and-Conquer, MergeSort, QuickSort, and Randomization Algorithms, along with proof for their asymptotic runtime

•Very well designed, structured and delivered. I enjoyed the videos and learned a lot from the lectures, quizzes, forum and programming assignments. Great course.

•Very good. Not an easy course but I think that's the idea haha. Tim is a great teacher and the content is very well organized to be didactic. I've learned a lot!

•It is really a very good course if you want to gain deep insight about algorithms. Definitely was slightly above my rank but that's how we learn and think more.
By Александр М
•This course can be really useful not only for junior engineers or students but also for middle engineers. It was fun and challenging. Thank you for this course.
By Ashish K
•A very good course for having the notion of algorithms, identify problems which can be solved by divide and conquer approach and analyse their time complexity.
By Yasar A A
•At first, I found difficulty in catching the content..... it would bounce upon my head rather understanding... overall it was worth of hard work. Good Content

•The instructor is simply super cool in teaching. He managed to explain things with all the necessary details in the most concise language. highly recommended.

•The course was intense at times, specially the Randomized Contraction Algorithm. Conceptually, it was fine, but the implementations took some serious effort.
By Rishi G V
•It is Really an amazing Course, mind blowing, very informative, It gives me the complete understanding merge sort and quick with best mathematical analysis.

•Well-taught, I love Tim Roughgarden's lecture style. Though he doesn't pull punches when it comes to the math, it's very straightforward and easy to follow.
By John C
•I loved it. It's challenging. Definitely requires some thought outside of what he videos cover for some of the quiz questions, but still totally doable.

•I'm not a Computer Science student and yet I found these lectures easy to follow. The programming exercises were a good mental exercise. Wonderful course!
By Abhishek V
•Very good review of divide and conquer algorithms, however, I only recommend for those who are willing to put in the hard work as I found it challenging.
By Peshotan I
•Very good course. Teaches the basics of algorithms very well. Lectures are great but I mostly studied from textbook (you can find it on amazon for $10).
By Mayur P
•Can we do better?
Yes.
Search for best optimised way using Divide and Conquer..
Thanks to Tim (instructor) for creating such a great interactive program.

•Very well done and presented material! In depth and gives you a deeper understanding of the material (if you pay close attention in lectures that is)!
By Minsub L
•Very good lecture to improve algorithm skills and basics for those who had not ever take class of algorithms. Thank you for your teaching, professor.
By Rebecca D
•I thoroughly enjoyed this course. I learned a great deal, and particularly enjoyed the programming assignments. Looking forward to starting course 2.
By John W
•Really enjoyed watching the lectures and Prof Roughgarden's explanations. He did a good job diving just deep enough into the math without losing me.
By Liam Y
•The course is challenging but rewarding. If you take diligent notes and make sure you rewatch videos as needed it yields a great deal of knowledge.
By Rush G
•Remember that the course is based and more focused on the analysis part rather than the actual implementation of the algorithm part. Tim is genius
By Max L I
•Tim Roughgarden does an amazing job at explaining this topic. The only very very small downside is, that video and voice are not always in sync.
By Yaz
•An excellent course. Frees your mind from the high school paradigm of procedural approach to Maths at the expense of pure, ground up reasoning.
By Péricles L M
•I had an amazing experience and a good review to main topics on Algorithms theory and I learned some nice new algorithms like Karger Algorthm.
By Himanshu G
•Excellent course. Professor Roughgarden did a splendid job of explaining the most intricate details in a way understood by even weak students.
