There are 2 modules in this course
This module moves beyond basic search methods to teach you how to implement and measure the impact of sophisticated planning algorithms. You will learn why brute-force search fails at scale and how to replace it with an informed algorithm such as beam search. By the end, you will be able to quantitatively measure the performance gains from your optimization, directly addressing the first core job task.

In this module, you will learn to diagnose the hidden costs in an agent's reasoning process. You will master the use of Big-O notation to analyze complexity and use profiling tools to pinpoint the exact source of a bottleneck. You will then apply this analysis to implement a data structure optimization that dramatically improves performance, preparing you to write and submit your final optimization project.
